NET METERING
FortisAlberta distributes electricity. You choose your retailer in Alberta's deregulated market – ENMAX, ATCO Energy, Direct Energy, etc. All retailers must honour Alberta's micro–generation retail–rate credits. No interconnection fees.

How your system works behind the meter

Most of a Airdrie system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 12.1¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to FortisAlberta (distribution) for net-metering credit.
