Chair’s Message
On behalf of the SaskEnergy Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to join the Minister Responsible for SaskEnergy, the Honourable Jim Reiter, in presenting the SaskEnergy 2014 Annual Report. As outlined within this report, 2014 saw SaskEnergy deliver on initiatives and produce strong results in its fundamental mandates of public safety, timely service delivery and effective rate management. Aligned closely with the Government of Saskatchewan’s Crown Sector Priorities, these focus areas are clearly established and well-communicated across all levels of the Corporation. This clear business alignment and the teamwork it enables were evident in the Corporation’s co-ordinated response to the bitterly cold temperatures of winter 2013/2014 and other weather-related situations throughout the year. On behalf of the Board, I express my thanks to the employees across the Province who came together in an extended team effort to keep our natural gas system running smoothly and our customers safe. This clarity of purpose is also evident at the Board table, where we rely on the SaskEnergy Executive and management — and, by extension, employees — to provide the information we need to make decisions. In that regard, we have been pleased with the knowledge, professionalism and diligence of everyone with whom we have worked. Looking ahead, SaskEnergy will continue to build on its successful efficiency and productivity initiatives to deliver value to customers and to the Government of Saskatchewan. As part of this ongoing effort, the Corporation recently completed a thorough review of its five-year capital investment plan to sharpen its focus on those key infrastructure projects which will most efficiently accommodate provincial growth and improve service delivery. I would like to recognize the contributions of Sharon Hodgson, Alfred Labas and Allan Kerpan, who left the Board in 2014, and welcome Kelly Bannister, Linda Clavelle and Dr. Denis Jones as new members. The Board is committed to the effective stewardship of SaskEnergy, and thanks the Executive team, management and employees for their contributions this past year.
