The Saskatchewan rate review panel has recommended an increase in the delivery portion of energy bills for SaskEnergy customers.
This rate increase will see residents pay an average of $1.42 more per month — an increase of $17 annually.
The 3.3 per cent residential hike would be lower than what SaskEnergy was asking for.
The crown corporation was originally seeking a 3.6 per cent increase, which would reach an average of $1.65 per month for a residential customer. It was also seeking a 2.4 per cent increase for small businesses, a 3.5 per cent increase for large commercial customers and a 2.4 per cent increase for small industrial customers.

Across all sectors, the review panel is recommending a 2.95 per cent increase.
Cabinet still has to approve the changes, which would take effect Nov. 1.
