Alberta Premier Danielle Smith plans to amend the Municipal Government Act to limit local access fees for electricity and natural gas in Calgary and Edmonton.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith plans to amend the Municipal Government Act to limit how city-owned utility companies, such as Calgary's Enmax and Edmonton's Epcor, calculate local access fees for electricity and natural gas. The province aims to reduce fees and provide relief to Calgarians, who currently pay three times more than Edmonton residents. The legislation would ban cities from using variable rates to calculate local access fees, preventing spikes in power prices.
