Albertan here. Every month I check my electricity bill and become frustrated. My bill will say $50 for electricity use, plus $100 in fees! (Transmission, municipal, retail, etc).

Everyone always says to try and find the best rate, but it seems like the rate is completely irrelevant. I could use no electricity and still have to pay almost $100 every month. Is that unique to Alberta or is everyone drowning in these flat fees?
