Monthly Gas Cost Recovery Rate - $1.645 per GJ

Effective for consumption from July 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009 
The Gas Cost Recovery Rate (GCRR) is the amount charged to recover the cost incurred to purchase the natural gas used by our customers.

  • The Gas Cost Recovery Rate is set at the start of each month.
  • Each monthly rate is based on an estimate of what gas will cost on the open market during the month.
  • If actual gas costs during a month are higher or lower than the estimate, the Gas Cost Recovery Rate will be increased or decreased in the following month to make up the deficit or to refund the surplus.

On March 30, 2009 the Alberta Utilities Commission approved increases to AltaGas Utilities Inc.'s gas distribution service charges (Decision 2009-038) on an interim refundable basis.

Details of the new rates are located in the Rates & Rules section of the website, as well as the bill insert provided with your March statement.
