- voisin 3y agoIs that because the generation is nuclear and hydroelectric and so lower cost than natural gas like Alberta?
- tempest_ 3y agoThe base load is nuclear but it isnt necessarily cheap. The government tried to take away the hydro subsidies a couple years ago and a bunch of people who live in the middle of no where and use baseboard heating lost their shit so the government went right back to subsidizing it.
- Teever 3y agoThis is often the case in Alberta as well.
- respondo2134 3y agothis ispretty coomon in Alberta for all services. Right now electricity is epensive but natural gas was costing as much or more to get to your house as the actual gas itself. There are a lot of governments and government owned/associated companies all taking a flat fee and then a % of your usage.
