Alberta government looks to distribute $150 electricity rebates by this summer
The Alberta government has introduced legislation that would fulfil a promise to provide $150 in electricity rebates.
Nally says the bill, if passed, would also allow the government to provide rebates on high natural gas bills. Premier Jason Kenney’s United Conservatives included natural gas rebates in the recent budget, but said they would not start until the fall and would be tied to prices exceeding $6.50 a gigajoule.
The province has temporarily reduced its portion of the gasoline tax at the gas pumps to help people facing higher prices across the board due to global energy demand and distribution bottlenecks.“The power rebate will be largely dependent on how long it takes the utility retailers to be able to adjust their billing systems,” Nally said Wednesday before introducing the legislation in the house.“I’m hopeful that will be June. For some retailers, it may go into July.
