New RRO Policy

The regulated rate is the default electric energy price. The RRO is the monthly rate for electricity automatically provided to all eligible customers who have not entered into a contract with a competitive electricity retailer. 100% of the electricity required for regulated customers will be purchased under the new RRO. As of July 1, 2010, the RRO will be based on the next month's projected market price of electricity. The regulated rate continues to be an option for Albertans - there is no end date.

New ROLR Policy

Effective June 1, 2025 Ermineskin REA Board of Directors has approved a decrease to Rate of Last Resort (Ro LR) to 13 cents per kWh for all members (per the Rate of Last Resort Regulation), set as a fixed price until December 31 2026. The Ro LR rate will replace the current Regulated Rate Option (RRO). Members currently on the RRO will automatically be transferred to the new Ro LR starting January 1, 2025. This will include a small fee of 0.01 cent per kWh, mandated by the UCA to support their consumer awareness.
