Hydro Bill
My stepson lives in Edmonton and say's his last bill was double up to $300.00. Has anyone else noticed a raise in utility bills in Edmonton?

My bills have appeared normal when accounting for fluctuations in the rates. A little higher than they should be, thanks Justin.

Carbon taxes are significant. But hey. We get it back...right? Umm. No. All the kids who fill out a tax form get it.

Something's fishy
You should ask to see his last 3 utility bills for comparison, the issue will likely be obvious. ie. number of days in the billing period, total energy usage, older bills with underestimated usage that finally got caught up by an actual reading, increase in kWh cost, etc.

You can send a thank you card to that stupid cow Notley for messing with the PPAs. The delivery and other fees are a percentage of the electricity charges. AND the cost for KWhour has gone from 3.5cents to close to 9. So that means everything doubles or triples. Why the NDP have to mess with electricity in any province they get in charge of is a mystery...but it sure screws home owners.

Who is his provider? Fixed rate? Floating? My last monthly bill from Enmax for electricity was $91 all taxes and fees in for floating electricity. I have never lost (in the long term) choosing floating over fixed rate

I agree ..... check consumption ..... sometimes a runny leaky toilet, or dripping faucet can surprise you how much water use goes up. Happened to me - basement toilet - nobody noticed ..... until the bill came ...

I believe the ref to Hydro Bill in the OP suggest that we are talking electricity here. At least that is what I would expect given that no other utility is mentioned......................I've been wrong before

It was Klieken that messed with our power when he might have been sober. We only payed for power before he came along as premier. Now we pay monthly for every power line that was already built by power companies.
