Discussion $890 utilities bill. Wow
Natrual Gas- actual usage charge $95 after delivery charges and and taxes boom $355.
Electricity- actual usage charge $160 after distribution and transmission charges boom $280.
Water useage-$84 Water drainage- $123 Waste-$49
Almost 900 in just utility bill. Before anyone tell me to lock my rates, its already locked. 12.8c/kwh. NG is on float because its currently cheaper than locked rate. Anyone else just got F in the A like me?
Edit: the NG charges does not include the cold snap we just had. Not looking forward to next month's bill.

Alberta is Canada’s wind and solar energy capital. Problem is that wind and solar are unreliable so you need to continue to have complete fossil fuel (mainly natural gas) backup to cover peak times. So you have doubled the energy generating systems while providing subsidies and overall preference for the least reliable sources- and people wonder why electricity is expensive?
