Provincial Government Approves SaskEnergy Bill Decrease for October 1, 2023
Going into the winter season, SaskEnergy customers will be paying less on their monthly natural gas bills.
The Government of Saskatchewan has approved SaskEnergy’s commodity rate decrease of 24.5 per cent, bringing it from $4.20 per gigajoule (GJ) to $3.20/GJ, as well as its five per cent delivery service rate increase.
Effective October 1, 2023, this combined rate adjustment will result in an overall bill decrease of nearly eight per cent or $6.52 per month for the average residential customer.
“Affordability is front and centre in all utility rate decisions in Saskatchewan,” Minister Responsible for SaskEnergy Dustin Duncan said. “SaskEnergy has done solid work on managing fluctuating markets by using its hedging program to lock in natural gas at beneficial prices. That hedging strategy provides price stability and shields customers from the extremes of market volatility.”
