Alberta aims to make utility bills more affordable
The Alberta government said Wednesday it is taking action to protect Alberta’s ratepayers by introducing legislation to lower and stabilize local access fees.
Provincial officials said affordability is a top priority for Alberta’s government, with the cost of utilities being a large focus.
By introducing legislation to help reduce the cost of utility bills, the government says it is continuing to follow through on its commitment to make life more affordable for Albertans.
This is said to be in addition to the new short-term measures to prevent spikes in electricity prices and help ensure long-term affordability for Albertans’ basic household expenses.
