Gas Retailers

Buying from a third-party supplier

Gas Retailers are independent suppliers and are not affiliated with/or endorsed by SaskEnergy.

In Saskatchewan, you have the option to buy natural gas from an authorized Gas Retailer if your annual consumption is less than 660,000 m3.  Similar to any purchase decision, it’s important to educate yourself on whether you are dealing with a reputable company and to understand the contract you are signing. SaskEnergy can’t provide advice, recommendations, or guarantees related to a supply contract, credit worthiness, or business practices of a Gas Retailer.

SaskEnergy purchases natural gas on the open market and provides it to our customers without any markup. We also file rate change applications to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel for independent review. Gas Retailers may or may not be able to supply natural gas at a lower commodity rate and are not required to complete a third-party review of their proposed rates. However, they may be able to offer fixed-rate, multi-year contracts.

Steps to Buying Gas from a Retailer
  1. The Gas Retailer will negotiate a commodity rate and term with you.
  2. Based on your agreement, you will sign a legal binding commodity sales contract between yourself and the Gas Retailer.
  3. You will sign a Disclosure Statement and Appointment of Agent Form authorizing the Gas Retailer to act as your agent and to allow the exchange of your SaskEnergy account information.
  4. The Gas Retailer will notify SaskEnergy of the agreed upon rate and term. We’ll send you a notice to confirm the requested changes to your account.
  5. You will continue to receive a SaskEnergy bill including the delivery and service charges as well as the Gas Retailer commodity rate.
Contract Deadlines

September 1st: If you are signing up, renewing, or switching suppliers, SaskEnergy requires notification from the Gas Retailer by September 15th for service to begin on November 1st.

20 Business Days: Upon your enrollment with a Gas Retailer, SaskEnergy will send a confirmation letter to you. If you change your mind and want to purchase gas from SaskEnergy, you must notify the Gas Retailer within 20 business days, in writing, to advise them you are cancelling the contract.

Fees: If you choose to return to SaskEnergy prior to the end of your contract, cancel the contract without sufficient notice, or the Gas Retailer is no longer able to supply you with natural gas, multiple fees may apply including a Return Charge or an Exit Charge from both SaskEnergy and/or the Gas Retailer.
