of transmission pipeline. Today, SaskEnergy operates 67,000 kilometres of distribution lines and more than 14,000 kilometres of transmission pipeline and has a customer base of more than 365,000. “Demand for new natural gas connections demonstrates how sustained this level of growth has become in our communities, as SaskEnergy will continue connecting new customers throughout the winter months and already has customer

commitments indicating that activity will continue at these elevated levels for 2013 and into 2014,� McMillan said. McMillan added that throughout this latest growth period, SaskEnergy continues to focus on its primary goal - delivering safe and reliable natural gas service to the people of Saskatchewan. This includes increased spending on safety programming of $79 million in 2012, rising to $94 million for 2013.
