Regulated Rate Option (RRO) in Calgary

Regulated Rate Fluctuations

Even if your usage stays the same from month to month, your bill can go up or down.

The RRO can be referred to as a floating or variable rate. Similar to floating or variable mortgages or loans, this means the RRO rate can change from month to month.

The RRO price changes because of factors such as demand, weather, plant maintenance, and the cost of fuel for generation plants.
