Paying Your Utility Bill
The easiest way to manage and make payments on your utility account is to sign up for automatic withdrawal.
The electricity and natural gas rebate is an initiative of the Province of Alberta under the Affordability Action Plan.
The City of Medicine Hat will administer the rebate using the criteria established by the province. The regulation specifies that rebates are to be provided to eligible electricity and natural gas consumers per “site” which is defined as “the main site that connects directly to the distribution system.” This means some condos, apartments, and other single-site multi-family dwellings may not be eligible under the regulation.The City will be reimbursed for credits applied only to eligible sites and cannot act outside the scope of the regulation.
Questions or concerns of eligibility on these rebates can be directed to the Utility Consumer Advocate at 310-4822 or UCAhelps@gov.ab.ca for consideration.
Upcoming affordability relief measures
Bill 2: Inflation Relief Statutes Amendment Act was introduced on December 7. If passed, it will allow government to deliver critical broad-based inflation relief to all Albertans, with additional targeted supports for families, seniors and vulnerable Albertans. Learn more at www.alberta.ca.
