The government of Saskatchewan revealed details of their commitment to giving a 10 per cent rebate to SaskPower Customers on their power bill.

The rebate will run from December 1, 2020, to November 30, 2021. Customers will first see the rebate on their power bill covering December 2020, which they will receive in January.

The rebate will apply to the 'electrical charges' section of customers’ bills, which includes your monthly charge, energy charge, and demand charge.

"We have a strong mandate to help make life more affordable for Saskatchewan families and businesses," Premier Scott Moe said. "As promised by our government, this measure will provide relief to everyone in the province to help drive Saskatchewan’s recovery in 2021."

It does not apply to GST, PST, municipal surcharge, Federal Carbon Tax, or other charges such as connect fees or late payment charges.

"The Saskatchewan Economic Recovery Rebate is a simple and effective way to help individuals, families, and business through this pandemic," Minister Responsible for SaskPower Don Morgan said. "By implementing this rebate today, our government is keeping its commitments to the people of Saskatchewan."

The one-year program is estimated to cost $262 million.
