North Service Territory

. For customers in the ATCO Gas North service territory, the September regulated natural
gas rate is decreasing from the August rate of $0.834 per GJ to $0.722 per GJ.
. This rate reflects a market price for September supplies of approximately $0.822 per GJ
as reported by the NGX, and incorporates an adjustment of $-0.1 per GJ
for August and prior months.
. The typical residential gas bill for September based on an average 5 GJ of consumption
would be approximately $71 in the North.

South Service Territory
The South territory includes customers living south of the City of Red Deer.
. For customers in the ATCO Gas South service territory, the September regulated natural
gas rate is decreasing from the August rate of $0.834 per GJ to $0.722 per GJ.

as reported by the NGX, and incorporates an adjustment of $-0.100 per GJ
for August and prior months.
. The typical residential gas bill for September based on an average 5 GJ of consumption
would be approximately $58 in the South.
