n Saskatchewan, SaskEnergy reported a major jump in natural gas consumption due to the frigid temperatures.
However, company officials were ready and were employing underground caverns to meet the demand.
"Those caverns come in really handy at times like this,"said DaveBurdeniuk. "On a day like today, 70 per cent of the gas being used inSaskatchewan comes from underground caverns. If we didn't have thesecaverns, we'd have to spend billions building massive pipelines fromproducing areas in the west or southeast."
The cold temperatures are expected to last through Sunday.
