Fort McMurray energy & net metering
What ATCO Electric 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. Fort McMurray’s long summer days produce significant solar output despite northern latitude.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Fort McMurray 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¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to ATCO Electric for net-metering credit.
