Solar panels in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
Prince Albert's Premier Choice For Home Solar Installations
Saskatchewan is the best province for solar energy production in all of Canada, receiving more sunlight than any other province or territory. Prince Albert is situated in a prime region of the province for sunlight, and it has some of the best solar potential in the country. Solar installations in Prince Albert are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1,300 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed. Saskatchewan has the fourth highest electricity costs of Canadian provinces. Saskatchewan’s power prices are about 25% higher than the national average. Saskatchewan also tends to have power rate increases of 1–3% yearly. The more you pay for electricity, the more you benefit by going solar. Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates. With energy prices expected to rise, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.

Prince Albert energy & net metering
What SaskPower charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan’s energy charge is 15.476¢/kWh (effective February 1, 2026), plus a $31.16/month basic charge. The blended all–in rate is approximately 18¢/kWh depending on usage. Prince Albert is served by SaskPower with net metering credits at 7.5¢/kWh. A further 3.9% increase is scheduled for 2027.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Prince Albert system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 15.476¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to SaskPower for net-metering credit.
