Albertan home benefiting from low electricity rates

Albertan homeowners can save on electricity costs by locking in low rates this July.

Why You Should Care About Electricity Rates Alberta

Many Albertans still pay the default electricity plan known as the Rate of Last Resort (RoLR). This plan is set by the province and currently charges between 12.01¢ and 12.06¢ per kWh, depending on your location. This rate is locked until the end of 2026, but it is significantly higher than the lowest electricity rate offered by 8760.

If your bill shows terms like “Regulated Services” or “Rate of Last Resort,” you are likely overpaying for electricity and natural gas. The RoLR is designed as a fallback option, but it is not the most cost-effective choice for most households.

By switching to the 8760 Home Energy Program, you can access rates nearly half of the RoLR price for electricity and competitive natural gas rates, helping you save money every month.

How to Check Your Current Utility Rates Alberta

Before switching, it’s important to understand your current energy costs. Here’s a simple way to check:

• Look at your latest utility bill.

• Find the section that lists your electricity and natural gas rates.

• Check if it mentions “Regulated Services” or “Rate of Last Resort.”

• Note your current rate per kWh for electricity and per GJ for natural gas.

  
  

If you see the default rates, you are paying more than necessary. This is your cue to explore better options.

Fixed Rate plans with various term lengths (term lengths will vary from time to time) and a Variable Rate Plan that floats with market rates. The best plan for you will be determined by your appetite for price fluctuations vs a desire for cost certainty through a fixed rate price.
