Natural gas rates decline in February

Across the border in Alberta, February’s highest monthly default natural gas rate is $3.715 per gigajoule, a nearly $3 decline from the $6.446 per gigajoule rate in January.

As a result, the natural gas rebate will not be triggered for February, but the program will continue protecting Albertans from price spikes in the months ahead.

Alberta’s government continues to deliver real relief to help people pay their utility bills.

More than 1.9 million homes, families and small businesses will receive another $75 electricity rebate in February, and a temporary price ceiling of 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour will continue helping reduce electricity costs for Albertans on the regulated rate option (RRO).

This is in addition to the many other broad- based supports and targeted relief being provided to help make life affordable for Albertans. In Alberta, the default regulated rates are set for the entire month and do not fluctuate. Rates are approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission and not determined by the government. The Alberta government will not send texts or emails about the rebate program and will not ask Albertans to submit personal information via text or email to receive rebates.
