Direct Energy Regulated Services (DERS) has announced default natural gas rates for May, affecting customers in the ATCO Gas North service area who do not have a competitive supplier.
The regulated rate is increasing to $2.419 per gigajoule from $2.210 per gigajoule in April.
This rate reflects a market price of about $2.136 per gigajoule, as reported by the NGX, plus an adjustment of 28.3 cents per gigajoule for April and previous months.
A typical residential customer using 6 gigajoules of gas in May can expect a bill of about $89.
The ATCO Gas North territory includes Red Deer and all areas north.
