SaskPower said Thursday it does not plan on applying for a rate increase during the 2019-20 fiscal year.
The Crown corporation said it will be able to meet its financial goals without raising electricity rates due to lower than forecasted natural gas prices and its optimization efforts.
Roughly $115 million has been saved since 2015 through a combination of restraint and optimization activities, according to SaskPower.
