'(Local access fees) remain the only lever the city can pull to support Calgarians during Alberta's soaring energy costs in the future,' a city report reads.
And the mayor says it could improve how the city communicates how it spends those fees to citizens.Calgary calculates LAFs based on the regulated rate option electricity prices and the gas cost flow-through rate on natural gas prices. From January 2021 to July 2023, the RRO jumped 246 per cent, resulting in Calgarians seeing ever-increasing fees on their electricity bill regardless of if they’re on a fixed price contract or RRO pricing.
“If we do a one-time affordability package, that’s something that we’ll be discussing during budget season ,” Mayor Jyoti Gondek said. “It’s hard to say what the right thing to do is with the amount of volatility that we have in the market right now. “The gas market is less susceptible to manipulation by producers as there are a great number of small and large producers in Alberta,” the city’s report reads. “Holding a majority of installed Alberta electric generation capacity… five companies wield significant market power.”‘People are in dire situations’: Calgary mayor eyes changes to energy bill fees
LAFs date back to 1956, when the city started charging for electricity and natural gas under the Municipal Taxation Act.
