Calgary’s Gas Bill to Rise in 2027 | Calgary News

Calgary’s gas bills are set to climb slightly starting January 2027 as the city seeks to raise franchise fees from ATCO Gas—boosting the fixed price per gigajoule from $3.15 to $5.67, adding roughly $2.45 monthly to the average household. The move, approved by council in May, aims to generate $98.2 million in 2027 (up from $71.6 million this year) to fund critical infrastructure repairs amid a $50 billion deficit over the next decade. Mayor Jeromy Farkas insists every dollar collected must be earmarked for essential projects, and public feedback runs through August 25 before ATCO submits its final application to the Alberta Utilities Commission by September 21. This fee hike is part of a broader push to link utility costs directly to tangible improvements for Calgarians. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
