The homes are then only able to run a furnace and a small amount of appliances. Providers are not allowed, by law, to completely cut off services from October to the middle of April in Alberta. Advertisement 3 Article content Puxley said none of their customers who were on load limiters have been disconnected at this time. She did not clarify exactly how many of their customers remain on load limiters, however Enmax’s website states they provide electricity to approximately 510,000 customers in Calgary and the surrounding area. EPCOR, in Edmonton, said they could not speculate on how many customers may be facing disconnections as it is a fluid number. However, the utility company said there were fewer accounts on a limiter at the end of the winter rules period than in the year prior. “We are not seeing a year-over-year increase,” said spokeswoman Laura Erkhamp. “We urge any customer missing payment schedules or with overdue balances to contact us as soon as possible as we are always interested in reviewing options to help them manage their account.” Advertisement 4 Article content When asked for aggregated data on the number of Albertans who have been disconnected from their utilities this spring, the province said the Alberta Utility Commission would be responsible for that information. In turn, the commission stated that information is not collected or published. Official opposition leader Rachel Notley said Thursday she has heard from Albertans who are facing disconnections. She said her party will be keeping an eye on energy prices this summer and will continue to look for practical solutions for Albertans. “We know that in the past, we’ve actually seen huge price spikes in the summer periodically, particularly if it gets really hot,” said Notley. “We’ve always said the $50 rebate for three months is likely not going to be the complete answer over the long haul.” Advertisement 5 Article content The government promised a $50 rebate for three months earlier this year to combat high electricity prices this winter. Associate Minister of Electricity and Natural Gas Dale Nally has introduced legislation allowing for the rebates to be implemented. He previously said he hopes they can be applied by this summer. The NDP raised flags on Thursday over a ministerial order brought forward Wednesday that allows for the rebate to be fully implemented by Dec. 31. Speaking at an unrelated press conference Premier Jason Kenney said there is a technical issue in getting approximately 40 retailers to be able to pass on the rebate to consumers. He noted that the province has also slashed taxes on gas and will be protecting Albertans from surges in natural gas prices next winter
