Mitigation Measure Saskatchewan Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management and Reduction Regulations (General and Electricity Producers) Brief Description SaskPower Programs Brief Description SaskPower Electricity Generation Initiatives* Brief Description Sectors targeted Electricity GHGs targeted CO Objective or activity targeted Reduce emissions from electricity production Type of instrument Electricity CO, CH Increase carbon neutral production Regulations Status of implementation Measure implemented Start of implementation 2018 Implementer 2018 Saskatchewan Estimated mitigation impact in 2020 (kt CO eq) NE The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Regulations (general and electricity generators came into force on January 1, 2018. The regulations impose a cap on greenhouse gas emissions for the province&#39;s coal and gas-fired electricity generators (SaskPower), and imposes an obligation to minor statement to independent power producers. In June 2019, an equivalency agreement between Saskatchewan and Canada for the regulation of coal-fired electricity generation was reached. The agreement allows SaskPower to manage reduced coal use at the fleet scale, rather than at the facility scale, and will replace federal regulations as of January 1 2 The Impact of this mitigation measure is included in the estimate of the federal CO Emissions Reduction measure, resulting from the amendments to the Coal-fired Electricity Regulation. Voluntary Agreement Adopted Estimated Mitigation Impact 2030 (kt e CO) Saskatchewan NE NA NE In October 2018, SaskPower launched the new Power Generation Partner Program (PGPP) to replace existing programs Small Power Producers and Flare Gas Power Generation The PGPP is a two-year program that accepts up to 1 of renewable energy generation and 25 MW of carbon-neutral non-renewable energy generation from of customer and community projects each year.November 2018, SaskPower&#39;s net metering program has been extended to November 30, 2021 or until the program reaches 16 MW of new generation, whichever comes first. 16 MW cap for the net metering program was reached in mid-2019 due to an increase in program participation A modified net metering program was subsequently launched in November 2019, with no cap on program capacity with no program end date. The new program creates certainty and provides a lasting incentive to increase renewable energy in the province.
