Prairie Resilience relies upon several pieces of provincial legislation and regulation:
The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Act was partially proclaimed in January 2018 to provide authority for electricity and reporting regulations. An amended Act was proclaimed in full in December 2018, which provided the authorities for the output-based emissions management framework, including compliance options such as the technology fund. The Act was amended, effective January 2023, to enable the creation of a Clean Electricity Transition Grant and a Small Modular Reactor Investment Fund, both funded by electricity compliance payments under the Output-Based Performance Standards (OBPS) Program.
The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases (General and Electricity Producer) Regulations
Effective January 1, 2018, these regulations on coal and natural gas-fired electricity were the basis of an equivalency agreement between Saskatchewan and the federal government. Under the equivalency agreement, the federal government accepts that Saskatchewan meets or exceeds federal standards, enabling the province to regulate its own emissions from SaskPower's fleet of coal and natural gas-fired power plants.
The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases (Reporting and General) Regulations, 2025
In effect on September 1, 2018, the regulations require any provincial facility that emits more than 10,000 tonnes per year to report those emissions.
The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases (Standards and Compliance) Regulations, 2023
The regulations establish parameters for mandatory greenhouse gas reductions through output-based performance standards for industry, along with compliance options, under Saskatchewan’s OBPS Program. The regulations were updated and came into effect January 1, 2023.
For additional information, see Guidance for Emitters.
OBPS Program Standards
The following standards are to be used by regulated emitters in the OBPS Program for 2023 and subsequent compliance years. Information for each standard can be obtained by clicking on the links below.
The following standards are only to be used by regulated emitters in the OBPS Program for 2022 and previous compliance years:
Government introduced Bill 147 – The Oil and Gas Conservation Amendment Act in November 2018 to facilitate emissions regulations in the oil and gas sector.
The Oil and Gas Emissions Management Regulations
The Regulation of flared and vented methane emissions in the upstream oil and gas sector led to a 71 per cent reduction in emissions from 2015 levels by 2024. The Regulations were amended in 2024 to remove coverage of flared gas, due to its coverage under the OBPS Program, and now focus only on vented gas.
