Varies

Description

Funding and programs to assist rural Albertans with essential services at a reasonable cost.

Eligible Applicants

  • Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit
  • Remote Area Heating Allowance
  • Rural electric
  • Rural natural gas

Eligible Expenses

  • Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit
    • Eligible Alberta producers are fully exempt from the provincial tax on propane and aviation fuel used for farming purposes. To qualify for the benefit, producers must:
      • be actively and directly farming by controlling farming assets and making the day-to-day management decisions
      • have annual farm commodity production worth at least $10,000 or $5,000 to $9,999 if the only other significant sources of income are Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security
  • Remote Area Heating Allowance (RAHA)
    • If your primary residence is outside the franchise boundaries of a natural gas distributor, you may be eligible for a rebate on heating oil and/or propane purchases. If natural gas service extends to your location in the future, your eligibility for heating oil/propane rebates terminates, regardless of whether you choose to receive natural gas services from the local distributor.
  • Rural Electric Program (REP)
    • The Rural Electric Program (REP) grant helps farmers access a basic, essential service at a reasonable cost and aids in the diversification of our rural economy. It also provides partial equity with other Albertans living in urban areas.

      • ensuring the safe and orderly development of natural gas distribution systems
      • conducting technical reviews
