St. Albert energy & net metering

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

UTILITY & RATE
FortisAlberta (distribution)
$0.1201/kWh (Rate of Last Resort)
SOLAR POTENTIAL
Excellent – 1,250 kWh/kW annually
NET METERING
Under Alberta's Micro–Generation Regulation, FortisAlberta customers earn full retail–rate credits. You choose your electricity retailer in Alberta's deregulated market. No interconnection fees.

Alberta’s Rate of Last Resort is 12.01–12.06¢/kWh, fixed through December 2026. St. Albert benefits from Edmonton–area programs including CEIP financing.

How your system works behind the meter

Most of a St. Albert 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 FortisAlberta (distribution) for net-metering credit.
