Why Reducing Emissions Matters
Emissions, including those from the generation of power, impact:
GHG emissions can last hundreds of years in the atmosphere. This is why it’s important for us to do what we can. You can help by being energy efficient at home and at work. By using less power you’ll save money and help protect the environment.

Every year, we report our emissions and emissions intensity to regulators and stakeholders in our Annual Report ([url]https://www.saskpower.com/about-us/our-company/current-reports[/url]). We count emissions from power generated by our facilities and by Independent Power Producers ([url]https://www.saskpower.com/our-power-future/infrastructure-projects/construction-projects/independent-power-producers[/url]) in the province.
In 2025, our GHG emissions were 12.2 million tonnes of CO2e*. This is a 5% decrease compared to 2024.
We expect to see our emissions level off in 2026, hovering near or just below current levels from now until 2035, as shown in the chart below.
*CO2e stands for CO2 equivalent. This is the standard measurement for reporting GHG emissions. The measure includes Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions as well as the CO2 equivalents for Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) emissions. We’re Making Progress
We continue to explore GHG emissions-free nuclear power and add renewable and lower GHG-emitting generation to our grid. Our first-ever utility-scale battery energy storage system ([url]https://www.saskpower.com/our-power-future/our-electricity/electrical-system/system-map/regina-battery-energy-storage-system[/url]) (BESS) came online in July 2024. The 200-megawatt Bekevar Wind Facility ([url]https://www.saskpower.com/our-power-future/our-electricity/electrical-system/system-map/bekevar-wind-facility[/url]) also came online in 2024.
