Beginning today (Nov.1), SaskPower will be providing a 60 per cent reduction in federal carbon tax for customers who rely on electricity as their primary source of heat in their homes. This reduction will remain in effect until April 30, 2025.
The calculation for the 60 per cent reduction was determined based on the typical percentage of power consumption required for home heating.
Depending on the weather throughout the winter and power consumption, residents may have their carbon tax lowered by up to $21 per month through the 2024-25 electric heat relief program.
The program will be automatically applied to residential customers. Previously, the program ran from January 1 until April 30 and provided customers with $1.3 million in relief.
