NDP

    "Invest dollars through climate initiatives into rapidly building out renewable power, energy efficiency retrofits, and lower energy costs for families." — It’s Time for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Sask United

  • Cancel investments green energy projects

    "The current governments investments in wind and solar projects have proven to be inefficient failures con- suming billions of taxpayer’s dollars with limited returns. We will end costly and economically destructive green energy projects proposed by Scott Moe’s Net-Zero by 2050 agenda. We will always put the people of Saskatchewan first, prioritizing local needs over global agendas." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

  • Keep depending on coal and natural gas for power generation

    "Our energy policy leverages Saskatchewan’s abundant natural resources to power our province and unlock its full potential. Coal and natural gas will be used to produce affordable electricity until reserves are deplet- ed, with energy plants operating well beyond Scott Moe’s Net-Zero by 2050 agenda. Coal and natural gas will remain a cornerstone of our energy strategy, ensuring reliable and affordable energy is available to build a thriving, self-sufficient, and market-driven economy." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
