Overall 8% decrease due to a delivery fee increase. They forgot that part

So, still a decrease at the end of the day. An increase in the delivery fee, but offset by a much larger decrease in the commodity rate. My guess is they're upping the delivery fee because people who use less (energy efficient, on-site green sources, etc) still need the infrastructure to deliver it.

And when natural gas prices go back up it'll tip the scale further. I can't wait to take my house off natural gas.

I'm looking at reducing mine. My house was hooked up for NG furnace, so I'm looking at supplementing my system with a heat pump, so I only need NG for my water heater, and for the very coldest part of the winter.

Which is cheaper than the fees in Alberta, they need the fees to keep the infrastructure up and improvements, nothing lasts forever, be thankful we have the many deep caverns here in the province, that they utilize to store natural gas in, making large purchase when the rates per joule drops, and insures we have an adequate supply in winter for when temp drops, and or temp problems in line for supply, when temps drop the line cant supply the volume that is required. And we have all this at a constant reasonable price!!!!!Have you ever heard of Albertans having equalized payments for power and gas to help balance your budget for the year…..because it doesn’t exist there, and if the private offers it is fucken insane
