What is an Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT)?
An Open Access Transmission Tariff is an open offer of transmission service. This type of tariff has become the North American standard for doing business in the electrical industry. For a fee, eligible users are able to access SaskPower’s transmission system to transport electricity to our two wholesale customers — the municipal utilities in Saskatoon and Swift Current — or wheel it across the province to other jurisdictions. Independent power producers within Saskatchewan also have the ability to transport electricity to our two wholesale customers and to transport electricity out of the province.
