Instead of the fee being tied to the province's regulated rate option — which reached record-high prices in 2023 — the city says it's aiming to move to a consumption-based model, charging customers based on how much power they use. "It's not the surprise that you see with the volatility of pricing of the regulated rate option," she said.
Under the current local access fee model, the City of Calgary, through Enmax and other retailers, charges 11.11 per cent of the monthly RRO per kilowatt hour consumed, plus 11.11 per cent of transmission and distribution costs for the access fee.Coun. Evan Spencer said the fee has been a point of tension for Calgarians, and that he's glad to see it changing.
