In his keynote address speech Saturday morning at the NDP convention, Leader Ryan Meili presented his ‘Renew Saskatchewan’ plan.

The plan is to remove barriers that are keeping families, farms, and businesses in the province from reducing energy use and changing to a lower cost and renewable option.

Meili says the plan would provide assessments and financing for clean energy installations for homes and businesses.

Following an initial assessment to determine the lowest cost and highest return option, some of the cost for installation would be covered by the fund and would be paid back over time from the customer’s power bill based on the value of the power generated or the fossil fuel saved by the installation.
