The cost of electricity reform continues to add up

According to the July TransCanada power update, Alberta electricity prices are up an average of 300% from the year prior to $63.44/MWH (mega watt hour) from just $16.78/MWH in June 2017. This massive jump in electricity prices will take its toll on the pocket books of consumers and businesses paying to operate electrical equipment, for their lights, refrigerators, and if they’re lucky, air conditioning.
