How much is the Federal Fuel Charge and where can I get more information on it?
The Federal Government implemented a Federal Fuel Charge to replace the repealed Carbon Levy in January 2020. The rates for January to April 2020 were $1.05/GJ. Rates were increased to $1.58/GJ on April 1, 2020, to $2.10/GJ in 2021, and to $2.63/GJ in 2022. It will increase annually on April 1st each year. For more information, click here.
Why can't I just phone utilities companies directly to have my lines located?
To call Alberta One Call at 1-800-242-3447 is a free service and is required by us so we have the proper documentation necessary.
Each utility company flagged by a request is responsible for locating their own specific lines.
In order to ensure that all the necessary utility companies are coordinated to come out it is necessary that all locates go through Alberta One Call. We receive such a large volume of locate requests in the warmer months that in order to ensure all are handled efficiently and in a timely manner, we require that they are submitted to us through Alberta One Call.
When do I need a permit and who requests it?
Permits are required any time you are requesting a meter or are adding a secondary to your current load.
It is also required if you are adding or updating a new appliance. You can request one yourself or have your gasfitter request one.
If you have a gasfitter doing the work, they should obtain the permit for you. "Homeowners permits" are required if you are doing the work yourself and require us to come out and observe a pressure test.
Gas Permits can be applied for through Superior Safety Codes.
