  • If You Love Saskatchewan…
    If you love Saskatchewan…. Help stop the quiet selling off of our public services The Brad Wall government is quietly starting to privatize our public services. Here are some examples: HEALTH CARE Private, for-profit clinics will now be permitted to offer surgeries in Regina and Saskatoon. The government's move to re-direct $5.5 million in public funds to finance private surgeries and diagnostic tests will mean: . higher costs; . less money for public health services; and . fewer health professionals in the public system. Higher costs The costs of surgeries in private, for-profit clinics will escalate after the initial 'introductory offer', according to the Saskatchewan Health Coalition. For example, the Alberta Health Services says the cost of hip and knee surgery in Edmonton's Royal Alexander Hospital is $4,500, while the cost in the for-profit Health Resources Centre is $14,000. Less money for public health services Diverting government funds to private clinics means less for publicly delivered services. The government has recently put a hold on $3 million in capital funding for a new public outpatient surgical care centre in Regina. Money for more staff and resources that would boost the public health system is now being siphoned off into the pockets of private companies. Staff shortages worsen There is a province-wide shortage of health professionals. Spreading our limited human resources across two systems - public and private - does not solve the problem. In fact, it will make the staff shortages in the public health system worse. We need to maximize staff recruitment and retention in our public hospitals.

    A powerful CONNECTION SASKPOWER 2015-16 ANNUAL REPORT SaskPower has changed its fiscal year-end to March 31 to coincide with that of the Province of Saskatchewan. The first complete fiscal period subsequent to the change is presented in this annual report and consists of the fifteen months ended March 31, 2016. It includes: • Quarter 1 (Q1) through quarter 4 (Q4) = January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 • Quarter 5 (Q5) = January 1, 2016, through March 31, 2016 Subsequent fiscal years will consist of the twelve months from April 1 through March 31. EXPANDING OUR LINK TO SASKATCHEWAN’S NORTH In 2015-16, SaskPower completed construction of the 300-kilometre Island Falls to Key Lake (I1K) Transmission Line. Built across the rugged Canadian Shield, the 230-kilovolt line will help meet growing demand for electricity in the North while also improving reliability. Maintaining a positive connection with customers is no small one circuit kilometre of power lines for every three customer feat. The I1K Transmission Line is part of one of the largest accounts. That often means responding to outages in remote power grids in Canada, comprised of nearly 157,000 circuit areas and in all types of weather. kilometres.

  • The Renewable Energy Sector in Saskatchewan
    the Renewable Energy Sector in Saskatchewan 1 issue in focus February, 2019 Core Issue In 2015, the Government of Saskatchewan committed to increasing its target for renewable energy generating capacity from 25 per cent to 50 per cent by 2030.1 The goal will include increased reliance on wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and other sources. The impact on greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions is projected to be 40% below 2005 levels by 2030. Saskatchewan’s load growth projections, coupled with an ageing generation fleet and ageing transmission infrastructure mean that significant capital investment will be required with or without the province’s renewables roadmap or the Government of Canada’s climate change policies. SaskPower’s procurement process per the renewables roadmap results in private developers designing, building, and commissioning new renewable generating infrastructure. It is important to point out that private sector developers will also be responsible for the associated costs and liabilities of owning and operating these new assets, not the public via SaskPower. SaskPower will purchase power from private developers at an agreed upon price and distribute it to end-users. The renewable procurement strategy has prompted a number of important questions around how generating sources will be integrated into the electrical grid, what impacts it will have on future electricity rates, the changing role of natural gas, the pros and cons for each type of renewable generation source, and more. The objectives of this report are threefold. The first objective is to offer a 360 degree overview of the renewable energy sector in Saskatchewan. The second objective is to identify the barriers and challenges that currently hold back the industry from reaching its full potential, as well as the business opportunities available.
