Rate of Last Resort

The Rate of Last Resort (RoLR) is a two-year fixed, stable default rate with a 10% rate adjustment cap for any subsequent two-year fixed rate.

The RoLR includes energy related charges (including, but not limited to, energy rates, risk margin and trading charges) and a consumer awareness surcharge of 0.1 cents/kWh to support initiatives by the Utilities Consumer Advocate to inform regulated rate customers about their electricity service options.

Regulated rate customers are free to purchase electricity services from a retailer of their choice. For a list of retailers, visit ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310-4822 (toll free in Alberta).

*Customers who receive service under an RRO rate will not be charged more than 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour in January, February and March 2023. Any costs above the 13.5 cent price ceiling will be deferred until rates drop and will be repaid over 21 months (April 2023 to December 2024).
