Saskatchewan's premier says the province will stop charging carbon taxes for electric heat

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province will stop collecting carbon credits on electric heat starting Jan. 1.

He says many people in northern Saskatchewan use electricity to heat their homes and should be exempt from paying the fee.

The premier says the province needs to look at who uses electricity to heat their homes and then figure out how to cut the carbon price from their bills.

In late October, Moe announced the province would no longer pay the carbon fee for natural gas after Ottawa exempted home heating oil.
