“The South Saskatoon gas line is the first step of a two-part plan to increase capacity for new residential, small business and large industry customers in the Saskatoon area, as well as surrounding areas such as Humboldt and even as far away as Prince Albert. In addition to ensuring customers have reliable natural gas service, this new line makes it easier for SaskEnergy to perform maintenance, inspections, and other activities without affecting customer delivery service.” —

MEETING CUSTOMER DEMAND NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE
Since 2013, Saskatoon has added nearly 32,000 new residents. This growth, coupled with commercial and industrial expansion, has increased demand for natural gas in Saskatoon and surrounding areas. When gas started flowing through SaskEnergy’s new South Saskatoon transmission line in October 2019, it marked the completion of a 62-kilometre system expansion that more than doubled capacity to the east side of the city.
