A note about recent higher RRO pricing

The past two years have seen increased volatility in RRO pricing due to market conditions. The Government of Alberta introduced a temporary rate ceiling to help RRO customers manage electricity rate volatility, which is now being paid back by RRO customers. Learn more about Alberta’s rate ceiling repayment plan.

About the Calgary RRO rate

About the Calgary RRO rate

The RRO rate fluctuates each month based on market prices for electricity in Alberta, which depends on the forecast supply and demand across the province. This means the RRO rate can rise or fall depending on market conditions and therefore, RRO bills can vary even when consumption remains similar. Each month the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) reviews and acknowledges the rates charged for RRO service in Calgary which have been determined in accordance with ENMAX Energy’s approved energy price setting plan.
