Direct Energy Regulated Services Announces Natural Gas Rates for October 2025

Calgary, Alberta, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Direct Energy Regulated Services has announced default natural gas rates for October 2025. These rates will apply to customers who have not chosen a competitive supplier within the ATCO Gas North and South service territories. The method DERS uses to calculate the rates has been verified by the Alberta Utilities Commission.

North Service Territory
The North territory includes customers living in and north of the City of Red Deer.
•           For customers in the ATCO Gas North service territory, the October regulated natural gas rate is increasing from the September rate of $0.722 per GJ to $1.429 per GJ.
•           This rate reflects a market price for October supplies of approximately $1.206 per GJ as reported by the NGX, and incorporates an adjustment of $0.223 per GJ for September and prior months.
•           The typical residential gas bill for October based on an average 9 GJ of consumption would be approximately $98 in the North.

South Service Territory
The South territory includes customers living south of the City of Red Deer.
•          For customers in the ATCO Gas South service territory, the October regulated natural gas rate is increasing from the September rate of $0.722 per GJ to $1.429 per GJ.
•          This rate reflects a market price for October supplies of approximately $1.206 per GJ as reported by the NGX, and incorporates an adjustment of $0.223 per GJ for September and prior months.
•          The typical residential gas bill for October based on an average 9 GJ of consumption would be approximately $82 in the South. Typical bill amounts between ATCO North and South regions may differ due to variances in transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) charges levied by ATCO Gas.
