Another Question About Diesel Consumption | Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Today's question: How much diesel did Yukon Energy use last year on its entire system (both the Whitehorse-Aishihik-Faro grid and the Mayo-Dawson grid)? I pay $1.25/L for diesel. Does Yukon Energy pay the same as I do?

In 2010, Yukon Energy consumed approximately 751,500 litres on the Whitehorse-Aishihik-Faro grid and about 677,500 litres on the Mayo-Dawson transmission system. The price that Yukon Energy pays for diesel varies based on the going market rate and the location (Whitehorse being the least expensive community and Dawson being the most expensive). In 2010 the price ranged from 82.5 cents/litre to 99 cents/litre.
