SaskPower is governed by The Power Corporation Act and is subject to the provisions of The Crown Corporations Act, 1993, which gives the Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan (CIC), the holding company for Saskatchewan's commercial Crown corporations, the broad authority to set the direction of the corporation.
Where required by legislation or policy directive, SaskPower submits performance management and investment decisions for review and approval by CIC and the provincial cabinet. Through its chair, who is an outside director, the SaskPower board of directors is accountable to the minister responsible for SaskPower. The minister functions as a link between the corporation and cabinet, as well as the provincial legislature.
