What you need to know

• RRO customers are those who haven't signed a competitive electricity contract.
• Like other electricity providers in Alberta, EPCOR's regulated rates will reflect this change.
• RRO customers across Alberta may now see more fluctuation in their rates based on market conditions.
• EPCOR does not make more or less profit when the regulated rate goes up or down – the price our customers pay reflects the market price we pay.

About the regulated rate option (RRO)

• Energy is purchased ahead of time through an open and transparent competitive process approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission and monitored by the Market Surveillance Administrator.
• The cost of energy is passed onto consumers through the regulated rate.
• RRO rates are based on market conditions related to supply and demand and other factors.
