Setting Commodity Rates
Natural gas prices can fluctuate The commodity rate is the Gas Consumption Charge on your bill. SaskEnergy follows the regulatory standard practice to recover the cost of natural gas sold to customers without any markup. As a utility, we should not incur a profit or a loss on the sale of natural gas. As natural gas prices fluctuate, the cost of buying natural gas each month varies. Because we don't know the total cost of gas for a particular period of time, SaskEnergy uses a Gas Cost Variance Account (GCVA) to balance the changes in costs and revenues over time. This approach helps provide you...

Carbon Monoxide
What you need to know Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, colourless, tasteless and invisible gas that occurs through combustion, or the process of burning. Excessive amounts of CO will form when there isn’t proper ventilation or an adequate air supply. Most often, exposure to carbon monoxide occurs indoors. Any appliance that burns fuel can cause CO build-up, including fireplaces, gas stoves, water heaters, furnaces, grills, generators or car engines. CO poisoning can happen to anyone but some people are more susceptible than others. Elderly, infants and those with heart or respiratory...

For your Farm
Grain Drying When the weather doesn't cooperate, a natural gas grain dryer can extend your harvest season. Grain quality counts and a dryer can ensure your grain ends up in the bin instead of left in the field. Benefits of using natural gas versus other energy options include: Lower fuel costs Convenience of not dealing with tanks or the need to refuel Reduced drying time Less greenhouse gas emissions Fuel Consumption In Saskatchewan, the typical grain drying temperature is 10 degrees Celsius. Using heat to dry the grain during the fall season prior to below zero temperatures will reduce...
Gas Meter Safety
Stay safe and sound, above and below ground. Keep the area around the gas meter on your property clear, ensuring that SaskEnergy and emergency responders can access it easily and safely at all times. Protect the meter: Covering or altering the meter can cause it to stop working or malfunction, and can prevent access to it in an emergency situation. Using the meter to hang hoses, leashes or ropes causes wear and tear on the gas meter. Leaning objects against the meter like bikes or bins can make it difficult for SaskEnergy and its authorized contractors to respond quickly during an emergency...
Meter Handling for Contractors
Care and attention is important when shipping, receiving, transporting and storing natural gas meters. If handled incorrectly, physical or mechanical damage could result in a defective meter that is no longer accurate or reliable. SaskEnergy is required to follow the guidelines issued by Measurement Canada, an agency of the Federal Government. The option for contractors to disconnect our meters can continue by ensuring all guidelines are followed. By working together, we can provide a high level of service to our mutual customers in a safe and efficient way. Guidelines for Working with Natural...
