During our Municipal Infrastructure Conference Sask Power bought lunch the first day. Guy Bruce, the President, gave a presentation on how Sask Power manages their assets. Here are some interesting highlights:
- the demand for power grew 6% in 2013 which is the 2nd highest growth rate in Canada
- a new power consumption record was set in December of 2013
- Sask Power has 308 metres of power line per customer
- this means there is 308 metres of power line for just me :)
- it costs $1 billion per year to renew and expand the power grid
- in 2014 Sask Power will replace 14,000 power poles
- Sask Power has more power poles than Saskatchewan has people
- the population of Saskatchewan is about 1.1 million people
- the number of power poles Sask Power has is 2.5 million
