What is the Transmission Service Charge Rider (Rider T)?
The Transmission Service Charge Rider collects from customers the difference between the forecast of transmission costs included in current delivery rates and the actual costs for this service. ATCO Gas has no control over the amounts charged by pipeline companies for transmission service. The Alberta Utilities Commission recognizes there is uncertainty around this cost and therefore has approved implementation of the Rider to recover a shortfall associated with an increase in transmission costs. The rider will be in effect from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
