    Tax is not charged on city/municipal services like water, sewer, recycling, etc.

  • What are Energy charges?

    ​This is the cost of electric energy you have used in a billing period.

    The electric rate charge are in cents per kilowatt-hour (¢/kWh) and does not include the administration fees or other applicable charges.

    In the Alberta degregulated market there are different electricity rate options for consumers.

  • What are Rate rider(s)?

    ​A rider is a temporary credit or charge approved by the regulator and are associated with distribution or transmission costs.

    Riders occur when the actual delivery and transmission costs incurred by the wire service provider differ from their approved rates.

    These charges are often forecasted and differ from actual cost.

  • Why are Meter readings actual or estimated?

    ​Meter readings can be actual or estimated based on meter reading schedule, meter access, property location, weather and safety concerns.

    The Settlement System Code requires electric meters for small consumers be read by distribution companies a minimum of once every six months and once in each calendar month for all Micro-generation sites.

  • How are electricity prices set in Alberta?

    ​Retailers buy electricity in large volumes from the wholesale markets, and then sell the electricity in smaller packages to their customers.

    The prices residential, farm and small business/commercial customers pay are known as retail prices.

    Electricity prices are set when companies that make electricity (generators) offer to sell their electricity to buyers (energy retailers).

    Energy retailers buy enough electricity to meet their customer supply requirements.

  • Is the regulated rate the best option for me?
    ​​If you're comfortable with an electricity rate that can be less predictable, then the regulated rate option might be a good option for you.

    From bill to bill, the regulated rate option can stay the same or it can rise or fall depending on mark​​et conditions such as supply and demand. 

    From January 1 to March 31, 2023, the Government of Alberta put in place a temporary regulated rate ceiling of 13.5¢/kWh. A repayment amount will be added to the RRO price on RRO customers’ bills between April 2023 and December 2024 as per the Regulated Rate Option Stability Regulation.
