SASKENERGY TABLES 1995 ANNUAL REPORT

Released on April 24, 1996

SaskEnergy Incorporated posted $58 million in net income in 1995 and
declared a dividend of $32 million to the Crown Investments Corporation
(CIC) of Saskatchewan. The corporation's financial and operational
achievements were released today in its 1995 annual report, tabled by
Eldon Lautermilch, minister responsible for SaskEnergy.

The corporation's net income was $7 million lower in 1995 than in the
previous year, due mainly to lower natural gas transmission revenues
that resulted from soft natural gas prices, and higher depreciation and
interest costs.

"Although SaskEnergy's net income was lower in 1995 than 1994, the
corporation continues to serve the province reliably and efficiently,"
Lautermilch said. "The natural gas industry has many business risks,
such as weather and natural gas price volatility. I believe SaskEnergy
has been managing these risks effectively. Last year, the corporation
reduced its natural gas utility rates by an average of 6.5 per cent and
continued to provide Saskatchewan customers with the second-lowest
rates of any province in Canada.

"In addition, SaskEnergy's transmission company, TransGas, successfully
completed its largest pipeline expansion ever, with the $114-million,
325-kilometre Goodsoil-to-Rosetown project. The new pipeline will
encourage further development of Saskatchewan's natural gas reserves
and provide natural gas producers additional pipeline capacity to get
their gas supplies to domestic and export markets."

Lautermilch added the corporation is well positioned to meet the
changing needs of customers.

"Benchmarking initiatives show both SaskEnergy and TransGas are in the
top quarter of comparable North American companies in being cost
efficient, providing competitive rates and customer service. I am
confident the corporation's employees will maintain their level of
innovation, productivity, and service to ensure the natural gas
industry's future challenges are met successfully."
