It has been a week of ice cold temperatures and that has resulted in the setting of another record.
Daily natural gas consumption in the province has again surpassed the previous usage record. A new record of 1.59 petajoules (PJ) was set today. The previous record of 1.57 PJ was set earlier this week on Feb. 9th.
A petajoule is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. SaskEnergy says the average home in Saskatchewan consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas annually.
The cold weather is expected to continue this weekend, but temperatures should rise next week.
