New Rate of Last Resort Approved for BRPC Members
Effective January 1, 2025, Battle River Power Coop's Board of Directors has approved a Rate of Last Resort (RoLR) of 13 cents per kWh for all members (per the Rate of Last Resort Regulation), set as a fixed price for the next two years. The RoLR rate will replace the current Regulated Rate Option (RRO). Members currently on the RRO will be automatically transferred to the new RoLR starting January 1, 2025.
Battle River Power Coop remains dedicated to offering competitive energy options. Whether you are a small or large consumer, eligible members can explore our fixed contract options. For those interested in other alternatives, you are welcome to visit the Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA) at www.ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310-4822 (toll free in Alberta) to explore a range of energy retailers.
To help members make informed choices, the UCA will also reach out quarterly to those on the RoLR, advising them on available retailer alternatives. We encourage you to take advantage of these updates to understand your options better.
