Carbon Tax Charge and Information
Effective January 1, 2023, Saskatoon Light & Power customers will see on average a three per cent increase in the Carbon Charge rate on their utility bills. This is a result of the Government of Canada’s Carbon Tax on emissions from electricity generation, which was established in 2019 and has increased on an annual basis to $65 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in 2023. The Carbon Charge 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 regardless of where their property is located - within the City of Saskatoon’s (City) or in SaskPower’s franchise areas.
