Asked if, moving forward, carbon tax paid by SaskPower will be invested in the same way, Moe said those discussions are also ongoing within provincial bounds. “A priority of the investment we would make would be in that transition of what, ultimately, our power generation will look like and to ensure it is as affordable as possible for Saskatchewan residents.”Saskatchewan Opposition Leader Carla Beck was asked for her thoughts on the future of the $480-million fund Thursday.
“The purpose of applying the price is to drive down the emissions. We would like to see measures effective in reducing emissions,” Beck told reporters. “Nuclear is one of the options. We want to see a plan that is not behind closed doors. These are huge investments, and considerations for the future of this province. We want to make sure that the plan is done in such a way that we have reliable energy, will reduce emissions and won’t stick Saskatchewan people with power sources they can’t afford.”
