The Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has approved a rate increase for SaskPower to take effect February 1st.

 

They say they need to upgrade aging infrastructure and meet higher environmental standards. So, it sounds like we'll all help pay for it.

SaskPower's request for a 4.3% rate increase has been approved by the Rate Review Panel to take effect at the start of February.

The provincial government needs to give it the okay and it's expected they will do so.
