“SaskEnergy’s integrated system of transmission, storage and distribution infrastructure is designed to meet the daily demand for natural gas in Saskatchewan, ensuring a safe and reliable supply even on the coldest days.” — Derek Leach Director, System Control
INCREASED CUSTOMER CONSUMPTION RESULTS IN NEW RECORD
The record for SaskEnergy customers’ daily gas usage was broken on three consecutive days during 2019-20, with a peak of 1.55 petajoules (PJ) occurring on January 15. Record-setting usage reflects higher demand for natural gas from residential, business and industrial customers. Increasing natural gas use for power production in Saskatchewan, mainly from SaskPower’s new Chinook Power Station near Swift Current, was a key contributor in attaining the record level.
