Electrical Rates
Carbon Charge Information
Effective January 1, 2024, Saskatoon Light & Power customers will see an increase in the carbon charge rate on their utility bills. For residential customers, the increase will vary depending on their electrical consumption but will amount to 0.3% on average. This is a result of the Carbon Tax on emissions from electricity generation, which was established in 2019 and has increased annually. The carbon harge rate is applied on a kilowatt-hour (kWh) basis.
The City has historically set its rates to match those established by SaskPower to ensure there are no inequities between utility customers in Saskatoon, regardless of whether they are located within the City of Saskatoon’s (City) or in SaskPower’s franchise areas.
