Thursday morning, SaskPower announced that it will be suspending active collections and will defer disconnecting residential customers for non-payment amid the COVID-19 outbreak.  

In a press release issued, the crown corporation presented the actions they'll take to provide relief to customers who may be affected by COVID-19.

“The health and safety of our employees and customers is SaskPower’s top priority,” said Shawn Schmidt, SaskPower Vice-President, Distribution and Customer Services. “We know the impact of the current pandemic can affect household finances, and that is why we are taking these measures today.”

If you're a SaskPower customer and are concerned about your ability to pay a Saskpower bill due to COVID-19 , you are asked to call 1-888-757-6937.

Customers whose power has already been disconnected or who currently have a load limiter on their residence can also call to be reconnected or have the limiter removed.

Flexible payment arrangements will continue to be available to customers during the pandemic.
