Medicine Hat raises August natural gas rate, holds electricity steady
The city's monthly review of energy commodity charges brought a higher default rate for gas customers, while power pricing stayed flat.
Why it matters
The monthly rate change directly affects utility bills for Medicine Hat households and small businesses on default energy pricing.
The City of Medicine Hat has announced its August energy commodity rates, showing a month-to-month increase for natural gas customers while electricity rates remain unchanged from July.
The city sets these default rates monthly for residential and small commercial customers who do not have a separate retail energy contract, reflecting current market conditions for natural gas.
No specific rate figures or percentage changes were included in the available details, and electricity pricing was confirmed to be holding steady heading into August.
