New record set for natural gas consumption during extreme cold warning

Saskatchewan set a new one-day record for natural gas consumption with 1.27 PetaJoules delivered to customers.

After a frigid weekend, Saskatchewan has set a new one-day record for natural gas consumption.

During the extreme cold warning last weekend , it seems most of us holed up in our homes and cranked our furnaces.

On Sunday when Regina hit a low of -35.8°, SaskEnergy delivered 1.27 PetaJoules of natural gas.

That’s a two percent increase over the last record which we set on December 6, 2013, when we hit a low of -34°.

Since that record was set SaskEnergy has added 7,300 customers.

SaskEnergy says we are breaking records more frequently lately because they keep adding new customers.
