SaskEnergy is looking to increase rates, applying to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for a 13.5% commodity rate increase.
The requested increase is for $1.02 per Gigajoule that would put the commodity rate to $4.84/Gj, and it would work out to an increase of $9.57 for the average residential customer.
"This will be the first increase that we've done to commodity rates since 2008," said SaskEnergy Spokesman Dave Burdeniuk. "We were able to take advantage, before now, of lower market prices and have four consecutive decreases... We try to make our increases as low as possible, through this past winter, when there was all that record cold, consumers across the country were paying significantly more."
The rate increase will take effect July 1st if approved by the panel and cabinet.
