Most Alberta businesses believe that regulated energy delivery charges on their utility bills are set in stone. At 8760, we say: “Delivery charges may be regulated, but that doesn't mean they're optimized.” We have a proven track record of saving our clients millions of dollars collectively on the regulated portion of their utility bills.

Meta announced a $13-billion AI data center project in Sturgeon County, just northeast of Edmonton. A new report by the Pembina Institute projects that between 2027 and 2031, residential electricity bills in Alberta could rise by $267 to $462 per year (a 15% to 25% increase) due to grid pressures. For at least its first year of operation, the data center will draw power directly from the Alberta electricity grid—using almost as much power as the city of Calgary.

As summer winds down, 8760 Expense Management looks back at an August filled with energy market updates, technology news, business insights, and community involvement across Alberta. Here's a quick look at what happened this month.

Proud to have hit the greens for a great cause! Last week, surrounded by the stunning Alberta mountains, our team attended the 34th Annual Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament at the Canmore Golf & Curling Club (August 19–20). 8760 was proud to join Tim Hortons leaders in supporting the organization’s ongoing charitable efforts!

A little rain can't ruin our summer mood! We continue to guide our clients, streamline decision-making, and optimize operational expenses. From celebrating Canada Day and sharing updated energy rates to highlighting real client savings and hosting our first summer team BBQ at William Hawrelak Park, Edmonton, Alberta. July has been a busy month at 8760 Expense Management.
