Moe says Saskatchewan to stop collecting carbon levy for electric heat

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province is to stop collecting the carbon levy on electric heat starting Jan. 1.

He said Thursday in a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, that many people in northern Saskatchewan use electricity to heat their homes, and that they should be exempt from paying the price.

"We're going to need to determine who is heating their home with electricity and then estimate the percentage of their power bill that is being used for that heat," Moe said.

"But those are details and we will get that all worked out."
