Summer in Alberta brought more than just a few showers this July. Despite the weather, 8760 has been busy helping businesses across Alberta improve operational efficiency payments and reduce costs. From holding steady on residential electricity rates and natural gas rates to launching new business phone plans and expanding card acceptance services into the US, this month has been packed with updates designed to support your business energy services and payment processing needs.
Here’s a detailed look at what 8760 accomplished in July and how these developments can help your business save money and operate more smoothly.

July Energy Rates Stay Low to Support Alberta Businesses
One of the biggest concerns for businesses and homeowners alike is the cost of energy. This July, 8760 maintained some of the lowest residential electricity rates in Alberta at 7.08 ¢/kWh and natural gas rates at $3.78/GJ. For small businesses, fixed rates were held at 7.98 ¢/kWh for electricity and $4.08/GJ for natural gas. These rates help businesses across Alberta plan their budgets with confidence and improve operational efficiency payments by reducing unpredictable energy costs.
The next rate update is scheduled for August 1, so now is a great time to review your current energy delivery charge reviews and commodity strategy. By understanding your energy bills better, you can identify hidden savings and avoid overpaying on delivery fees.
Why this matters:
Stable energy rates reduce financial uncertainty
Lower natural gas and electricity costs improve cash flow
Energy delivery charge reviews can uncover significant savings
8760’s business energy services include detailed bill reviews that have already helped clients like the City of Fort Saskatchewan save over $62,000 annually on utility delivery fees. The Evergreens Foundation also saved more than $200,000 on commodity bills and $12,000 yearly on delivery charges by working with 8760.
Updated iPhone 17 Pricing Makes It Easier to Buy iPhone for Your Business
8760 Cellular rolled out updated pricing across the Apple lineup this July, making it easier than ever to buy iPhone models for your team. The new business phone plans offer the iPhone 17 starting at just $234 upfront with $0/month hardware fees when paired with a fully managed business plan.
This offer is part of 8760’s commitment to providing the best iPhone deals for businesses looking to improve payment processing and communication efficiency. With these plans, businesses can equip their teams with reliable devices without large upfront costs or complicated payment structures.

Key benefits of these business phone plans:
Affordable upfront costs with no monthly hardware fees
Access to the latest Apple technology for improved productivity
Simplified billing to help manage operational expenses
Whether you need to upgrade your entire fleet of phones or add a few new devices, 8760’s updated pricing makes it easier to stay connected and keep your business running smoothly.
