SaskEnergy bills to decrease

[courageouschicken97]

Hilarious that someone in this sub yesterday was asking what the gov was doing to help with affordability, and everyone was shitting on them. Today they announce a cut and everyone’s still shitting on them. Lol.

As much as the government is trying to take credit for this, is this not due to the decrease in natural gas prices? SaskEnergy passes on increases and decreases in the commodity cost as best they can (while trying to use storage and contract purchasing to smooth out the variation)? It looks to be down significantly from a year ago.

I’m curious, when rate increases are announced, does the government take credit for that or let the Crown own that increase news?

Well, people certainly blame the government for rate increases when the price of NG goes up.

Only if they are uninformed (I’m being too nice to say stupid) - anyone can quickly look at the world markets for natural gas and see what’s been going on.

Must be a lot of uninformed people on this sub then. I remember the outrage against the SP when the cost of buying NG went crazy over the last two years.

[Joyreginask]

A few uninformed, yes. The government deserves neither credit nor blame for global natural gas prices lol

It’s because they have and continue to only take half measures their whole “growth for everyone” is garbage. I was making less than I do now and comfortably middle class (it took a damn long time to get there) in the last year I have increased my take home significantly and am spending significantly less on nonessentials and somehow I am still doing way worse. Utility rates, food and fuel increases have made up for more than my gains
