Are you looking to better understand how electricity is used in your home or business? Use the electricity calculator to see how consumption is impacting your energy costs.
Enter your current rate (¢/kWh listed on your bill), the number of each item you use in your home, and the approximate hours per month the item is in use.
If there is an appliance or item you'd like to calculate the cost of, and don't see it listed (i.e., electric vehicle charger), use the blank row at the bottom of the calculator to enter your own item and details.
Please note, FortisAlberta is an electricity distribution provider, not a billing company (retailer). We own, operate and maintain the power lines, poles and meters in our service area. Customers in Alberta are free to purchase natural gas services or electricity services from a retailer of their choice. For a list of retailers, visit ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310-4822 (toll free in Alberta).
