Province eyes utility access fees amid Calgary debate
The province may weigh in on municipal access fees that Calgary uses as a share of energy costs. Medicine Hat charges lower annual distribution rates, while Calgary faced protests after a 2023 price spike and $200 million over expectations. Premier Danielle Smith hinted action if Calgary does not resolve the issue. The Medicine Hat fee, or MCA F, funds tax bases for the utility and has faced protests and calls to review or scrap. Lou Boss of the Ratepayers Association urges provincial review across the province and continued pressure on city officials.
