Grid and Growth Plan 2026

A pragmatic, Saskatchewan-first approach. It builds the power we need now, keeps future options open, and protects ratepayers from unnecessary risk. Affordable, reliable electricity is the foundation of economic growth and a good quality of life. Saskatchewan needs a disciplined, flexible, and financially responsible plan to get there.

The Grid and Growth Plan provides that path.

What is the Grid & Growth Plan?

Electricity costs shape the cost of living, the success of Saskatchewan farms and businesses, and our ability to attract investment and create jobs. Saskatchewan already operates one of the most expensive electricity systems in Canada. The decisions made today will determine whether power bills remain manageable — or become a major barrier to growth and affordability.

In October 2025, the Saskatchewan Party released its Energy Security Strategy and Supply Plan, committing the province to extend coal generation and pursue SMR deployment in the medium term. What the government did not release was the financial and economic analysis behind this decision.

Independent modelling commissioned by the Saskatchewan NDP and conducted by the independent Energy Super Modelers and International Analysts (ESMIA) shows the government’s plan is the highest-cost and highest-risk pathway available to Saskatchewan.

This report summarizes modelling results, risks and costs of the Sask Party’s Plan, and outlines a fiscally responsible alternative, the Grid and Growth Plan.
