• For customers in the ATCO Gas North service territory, the June regulated natural gas rate is decreasing from the May rate of $2.419 per GJ to $1.775 per GJ.
• This rate reflects a market price for June supplies of approximately $1.821 per GJ as reported by the NGX, and incorporates an adjustment of $-0.047 per GJ for May and prior months.
• The typical residential gas bill for June based on an average 3 GJ of consumption would be approximately $72 in the North.

The South territory includes customers living south of the City of Red Deer.

• For customers in the ATCO Gas South service territory, the June regulated natural gas rate is decreasing from the May rate of $2.419 per GJ to $1.775 per GJ.

• The typical residential gas bill for June based on an average 3 GJ of consumption would be approximately $58 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.
