Saskatoon Electricity and Natural Gas History<\/h2>\n
Originally founded in 1882 by members of the Methodist Temperance Colonization Society of Toronto who wished to establish a \u2018dry\u2019 community, Saskatoon was established as a city in 1906. The newly formed city council authorized the construction of an electrical network, as well as water and sanitation systems. The construction of the Saskatoon Power House, the city\u2019s first power plant, was completed systems the same year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The original Saskatoon Power House, built at Spadina Crescent and Avenue H, marked the founding of what is now the city-owned Saskatoon Light & Power utility company. The plant was later incorporated into the municipal waterworks. Meanwhile, while many parts of Canada were quick to adopt natural gas as heating and power solution, Saskatoon relied heavily on oil. In fact, the area\u2019s consumption of natural gas did not surpass oil until the 1980s.<\/p>\n
The city\u2019s electrical production ramped up with the completion of the Saskatoon Power Plant in 1912, which replaced the older station and was acquired by the provincial Saskatchewan Power Corporation (now SaskPower) in November 1928, and later renamed as the A.L. Cole Power Station. The plant was further expanded in the 1950s, but was relegated to serving as a source of back-up power after the completion of the natural gas-fueled Queen Elizabeth Power Station. The A.L. Cole Power Station was decommissioned in 1983, and demolished in 1996, thought the pumphouse which supplied water from the South Saskatchewan River to cool the plant\u2019s generators still stands today.<\/p>\n
Today, the vast majority of Saskatoon\u2019s electricity is sourced from two natural gas-powered plants, the Queen Elizabeth Power Station and Cory Cogeneration Station, which together produce about 690 megawatts of electricity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saskatoon Electricity Retailers and Natural Gas Providers The entirety of the city of Saskatoon receives its electricity from regulated energy utilities.
