Where you live shouldn’t determine your power bill.

3D map of Alberta

Many residents in northern, east-central and southern Alberta are paying some of the highest electricity distribution fees in the province. It’s time for fairness and a change.

The problem

Families, businesses and municipalities in many parts of Alberta have been impacted by unfairly high electricity distribution charges simply because of where they live. This disparity puts our communities at a disadvantage. These high costs strain household budgets and hinder economic growth. Residents in northern, east-central and southern Alberta, in particular, feel penalized by these higher utility costs.

We are coming together to address this inequality and find a fair solution for everyone. The Fair Electricity Distribution Alliance is calling for a fair, province-wide solution.
