Electricity rates are set to jump significantly in April for Albertans, but the spike will only be reflected on some customers' bills. Electricity costs are set to jump by nearly 50 per cent between March and April for customers of Enmax Energy, Direct Energy and Epcor Energy, according to rates set by the Alberta Utilities Commission. Enmax's residential electricity rate will be jumping from 5.11 cents per kilowatt-hour in March to 9.28 cents in April. Residential electricity rates will jump between March and April of 2018 in Alberta. But customers paying variable rates, like those on Enmax's floating index electricity plan, would be impacted by volatility in the province's electricity market.
