SaskPower

SaskPower — the Saskatchewan Power Corporation — is the Crown corporation that owns and runs essentially the whole electricity value chain in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Established in 1929 as the Saskatchewan Power Commission and continued as the Saskatchewan Power Corporation in 1949 under The Power Corporation Act, it is owned by the provincial government through Crown Investments Corporation and reports to a Minister Responsible rather than to shareholders. It generates, transmits, distributes and retails power to more than 550,000 customers across roughly 652,000 square kilometres on more than 160,000 kilometres of line, from a fleet of coal, natural gas, hydro, wind and solar facilities totalling about 5,437 MW. Unlike Ontario or Alberta there is no competitive wholesale market operator sitting beside it — SaskPower is generator, wires company and retailer at once. Its API posture is the exact inverse of a regulated open-banking-style utility: no consumer energy data mandate applies to it at all. Saskatchewan has no Green Button regulation (Ontario and Nova Scotia do), Canada has no national energy consumer data right, and the Green Button Alliance states plainly that it has no information about any Green Button deployment in Saskatchewan. Smart meter usage data is visible only to the account holder inside MySaskPower behind an Azure AD B2C login; there is no consented third-party data-sharing API, no ESPI/Green Button surface, and no accreditation scheme. What SaskPower does publish — and publishes wide open, anonymously, with no key, no signup and no rate limit — is grid and system data: a live JSON feed of provincial system demand, generation by fuel type, net interchange and historical peak demand behind the public "Where Your Power Comes From" page, an RSS feed of planned outages, and two KML feeds driving the outage and smart-meter installation maps. None of it is documented as an API, versioned, or covered by a developer program: the former SaskPower ESB developer portal at api-info.saskpower.com no longer resolves, and api.saskpower.com is a live TIBCO/Mashery gateway that answers every public path with ERR_596_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND. Open market data, closed consumer data, and no published door for a developer to knock on.

SaskPower is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

SaskPower is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
