description: '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, a second JSON feed listing current outages by service
  region, 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.'

  description: 'The undocumented JSON endpoint behind SaskPower''s public "Where Your Power Comes From" page. A single anonymous
    GET — no key, no signup, no referer check — returns the province''s current supply picture: systemDemand, systemSupply,
    generation, netInterchange (negative when Saskatchewan is exporting), historicalPeakDemand with its date, and a generationByType
    array giving each fuel type (Hydro, Coal, Natural Gas, Wind, Solar, Other) its percentOfTotalGeneration, totalGenerationForType
    in MW, and the named powerUseFacilities contributing to it with links to each station''s page. Verified 2026-07-27 as
    HTTP 200, application/json, 7,917 bytes, valid JSON. SaskPower publishes no reference, no schema, no version and no rate
    limit for it; it is a Sitecore controller action, not a product. Electricity Maps lists SaskPower''s "Where Your Power
    Comes From" page as its Saskatchewan source, which is this same data read off the rendered page.'

  description: A genuinely published, anonymous RSS 2.0 feed of SaskPower's planned power outages, opened by the visible "RSS
    feed" link on the Outages Planned for Necessary Maintenance page. Each item carries a title naming the area and date,
    a pubDate, and a CDATA description listing the towns and urban municipalities affected, the outage date and time window,
    the outage reason, and additional comments including reschedules. The feed's self-declared atom:link points at http://www.saskpower.com/feeds/outages.xml,
    which is dead — that path returns a SaskPower 500 error page — so the working location is the /ignitionapi/Content/GetRSSFeed
    endpoint the page's own JavaScript opens. Verified 2026-07-27 as HTTP 200, text/xml, 13,058 bytes, valid XML.

  name: SaskPower Live Outage JSON Feed
  description: The undocumented JSON endpoint behind SaskPower's public outage map, found in the markup of the Outage Map
    and Updates page alongside the KML reference and fetched anonymously with no key, no signup and no referer check. A single
    GET returns Outages[] — one entry per affected service region — each carrying an integer OutageId (the same identifier
    space as the planned-outage RSS guids), an integer RegionId that joins to the outage-map KML regions and to that feed's
    ?rid= parameter, a human-readable Region name, a Planned field valued "Planned" or "Unplanned", and an Alerts array of
    operator-written {CreateDate, Message} notices. It is wrapped in the shared Sitecore controller envelope {errorCode, errorMessage,
    errorDetails, callId, time}, where errorCode 0 means success and the HTTP status stays 200 even on failure. Verified 2026-07-27
    as HTTP 200, application/json, 4,256 bytes, valid JSON, 13 outages. This is the closest thing SaskPower has to a live
    grid-events API, and it is documented nowhere.
