Solar Panels in The Pas, Manitoba
The Pas is served by Manitoba Hydro at ~9.97/kWh – the lowest electricity rate in Canada. Solar production of 1,220 kWh/kW benefits from long summer days, but Manitoba’s low hydro rates result in longer payback periods (18-25 years at this northern latitude). The Efficiency Manitoba rebate ($5K) helps offset upfront costs.
Manitoba Hydro Net Billing in The Pas
Manitoba Hydro’s net billing program credits excess solar at the export rate of 7.173/kWh (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, updated annually) – significantly lower than the retail rate. Self-consumption is key: sizing your system to match your daytime usage maximizes savings.
An interconnection study fee of approximately $1,000 applies.
