Why did SaskPower implement the OATT?
The OATT will allow SaskPower access to the transmission system of other utilities with similar tariffs. this permits sales of our excess generation to external markets where opportunities exist, as well as permits SaskPower to buy supplies as needed for internal reliability requirements. This type of tariff has become the North American standard for doing business and it was essential to establish this in order for SaskPower to keep pace and not risk losing the ability to buy and sell electricity in other jurisdictions.
