Red Deer energy & net metering
What City of Red Deer Electric / ENMAX 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. With rates expected to rise after the current period ends, going solar locks in your energy costs permanently.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Red Deer 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 City of Red Deer Electric / ENMAX for net-metering credit.
