Multiple Peace Region municipalities and chambers of commerce have joined a coalition raising awareness about differing electricity distribution rates in Alberta.

The Fair Electricity Distribution Alliance is reporting households in northern, east-central and southern Alberta are paying an average of $118 a month for electricity, compared to about $34 in non-impacted service areas.
