The carbon tax in Saskatchewan on farm rates is a whopping 1 cent per kwh. Without my solar generation that would have cost me about $350 dollars per year with average consumption.

The utilities take several times that in Alberta for profit at their much higher rates.

How do you know what the breakdown of rates and rate increases in Alberta was caused by if you don't have the numbers from the utilities and the AESO?

Or are you just making several uninformed assumptions? Guessing?

Chuck2 as you can see a long term contract is much cheaper than the daily price.

You do realize carbon tax is added directly on everything you buy from a bolt to a jug of chemical
Surely to Christ you are not that simple ??

Yes exactly like the much larger and more impact full increase in the price of oil and fuel because of supply and demand.

And so far the oil companies haven't sent me a rebate check for all their increased prices!

And Saskatchewan is also installing a lot of wind and some solar and shutting down aging coal plants in favour of new gas plants.

Yeah, that hasn’t happened in Alberta at all.

Thank you to all the Sask Power linemen who were out most of the night getting as much fixed as possible.

We were off for for maybe 2hrs around midnight.

Working with down high voltage power lines in the wind and rain in the dark sounds a lot worse than going out checking cows and calves a few bad nights.

Remember when you told us you are a capitalist farmer? Enjoying unprecedented prices and profits this past couple of years.
Have you already sent out your own rebate cheques to your customers?
