Open transmission access

Providing fair and open transmission access

In 2001, SaskPower opened its border to wholesale electricity suppliers through the introduction of the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). Transmission Services is SaskPower's contact point for acquiring access to our transmission system and for interconnecting your generation to our transmission system (i.e. line 72 KV or greater). Our mission is to provide superior open access transmission service.

Import/Export or wheel of wholesale electricity
SaskPower's Transmission Services, through the OATT, offers transmission services to wholesale electricity suppliers to transport energy within Saskatchewan or across the province to other jurisdictions.

Customers eligible to use this service are:

Independent Power Producers connected to the SaskPower grid: to sell electricity to the Saskatoon and Swift Current utilities or export electricity to other jurisdictions

Interconnection of generation to SaskPower's transmission system
Transmission Services offers services to help interested independent power producers connect your generation to SaskPower's transmission system (i.e. line 72 kV or greater).
