Calgary, Alberta, Feb. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Direct Energy Regulated Services has announced default natural gas rates for March 2026. These rates will apply to customers who have not chosen a competitive supplier within the ATCO Gas North and South service territories. The method DERS uses to calculate the rates has been verified by the\u00a0Alberta Utilities Commission.<\/p>\n

The March regulated natural gas rate is $1.784 per GJ. This is a decrease from the February rate of $2.422 per GJ. The rate reflects a market price for March supplies of approximately $1.709 per GJ as reported by the NGX and incorporates an adjustment of $0.075 per GJ for February and prior months.<\/p>\n

Average Bill Amounts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The North territory includes customers living in and north of the City of Red Deer.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 The typical residential gas bill for March based on an average 14 GJ of consumption would be approximately $128 in the North.\u00a0<\/p>\n

South Service Territory<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South territory includes customers living south of the City of Red Deer.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 The typical residential gas bill for March based on an average 14 GJ of consumption would be approximately $110 in the South.<\/p>\n

Typical bill amounts between ATCO North and South regions may differ due to variances in\u00a0transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) charges levied by ATCO Gas.<\/p>\n
