Chestermere energy & net metering

What FortisAlberta (distribution) charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Alberta.

UTILITY & RATE
FortisAlberta (distribution)
$0.1206/kWh (Rate of Last Resort)
SOLAR POTENTIAL
Excellent – 1,290 kWh/kW annually (matches Calgary)
NET METERING
Under Alberta's Micro–Generation Regulation, FortisAlberta customers earn full retail–rate credits. No interconnection fees. Credits applied monthly, unused credits paid out annually.

How your system works behind the meter

Most of a Chestermere 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.
