Solar panels in Regina, Saskatchewan
Regina'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. Regina is situated in a prime region of the province for sunlight, allowing it to surpass the province’s already impressive average solar panel performance. Solar installations in Regina are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1,361 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.

Regina 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. Regina is served by SaskPower – the province’s sole electrical utility outside Saskatoon city core and Swift Current. A further 3.9% increase is scheduled for 2027.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Regina 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.

Solar Panels in Regina, Saskatchewan
Regina has exceptional solar production at 1,340 kWh/kW – among the highest in Canada. However, SaskPower’s net metering credit of 7.5¢/kWh (about 41% of retail) results in longer payback periods than provinces with full retail-rate credits. The honest payback for a 10kW system in Regina is 13-17 years.
That said, Saskatchewan’s electricity rates are rising – 3.9% in 2026, 3.9% in 2027 – improving solar ROI over time. Every rate increase makes your fixed solar cost more valuable.
Saskatchewan has the highest solar irradiance in Canada, and Regina is one of the province’s top-producing cities.
SaskPower Net Metering in Regina
SaskPower’s net metering program allows residential systems up to 100 kW. Excess energy is credited at 7.5¢/kWh – credits never expire until your account closes.
The current net metering program has been extended to March 31, 2029. Terms after 2029 have not been announced.
Unlike Saskatoon, where Saskatoon Light & Power historically offered 1:1 net metering (ended for new customers November 26, 2025), all of Regina is served by SaskPower at the 7.5¢ rate.
