Proposed Fortis Franchise Fee Increase
October 15, 2020
FRANCHISE FEE INCREASE NOTICE
Please be advised that the Town of Magrath is proposing to increase the local access fee, which is charged to FortisAlberta Inc. (FortisAlberta) for use of municipal lands for its power lines effective January 1, 2021*.
The fee is recovered by FortisAlberta from its customers as the local municipal access fee on electric billings of all customers that receive electric service in the Town. This local access fee will be increased from $5.17 (8%) to $6.90 (10%) of the delivery charge of FortisAlberta, excluding energy related riders. This calculation is based on 640 kWh consumption in 30 days.
Franchise fee percentage rates differ in communities all across Alberta. For your review and comparison other community rates can be found here on pages 27-29.
The funds obtained from the local access fee are used to offset the Town’s electrical bill for streetlights and public areas. The Town of Magrath has not changed this fee since 2017 but has significantly increased the number of streetlights in Town. Questions or concerns should be directed to James Suffredine, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Magrath at (403) 758-3212
