We’ve heard from thousands of Albertans dealing with these massive bills at a time when they can least afford them.
In response, we’re calling for the following four actions:
1/5 #ableg
➡️ Provide direct consumer relief to two-thirds of Albertans (those earning up to $55,000 annually as an individual or $102,500 per couple). 2/5 #ableg
We want to model the relief program after the COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program offered in Ontario, which provided customers $750 in support both their electricity and natural gas bills. Consumers can apply for relief on both bills separately 3/5 #ableg
➡️ Reinstate the Regulated Rate Option cap for electricity at 6.8 cents per kilowatt hour.
➡️ Reinstate the Utility Payment Deferral Program, which allowed consumers and businesses to defer payment of bills but which ended last June.
