Cochrane energy & net metering
What FortisAlberta (distribution) charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Alberta.
Alberta’s Rate of Last Resort is 12.01–12.06¢/kWh, fixed through December 2026. Cochrane’s growing population and proximity to Calgary make it a prime solar market.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Cochrane 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.
