ELECTRICITY PRICE PROTECTION FOR RRO MEMBERS

Electricity consumers on the Regulated Rate Option (RRO) will be protected from high power bills this winter as part of the Affordability Action Plan.

Members on the RRO will not be charged more than 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour in January, February and March of 2023.

Any costs above the 13.5 cent price ceiling will be deferred until rates drop and will be repaid over 21 months (April 2023 to December 2024).

This is a temporary measure while the government explores longer-term solutions for the RRO to help keep energy affordable for Alberta families.
