"Utilities" in Stony Plain means two separate bills. The Town of Stony Plain bills water, sewer, household waste (garbage, organics and recycling) and the storm water fee on a Town utility account. Electricity and natural gas arrive on one bill from the retailer you choose, and that bill includes the regulated delivery charges from the wires and pipeline companies. Only the retailer part is your decision.

Bright Fire's $9.99/month administration fee, rate riders, other retailer fees and GST are also not included, so these are not full bill totals. Your own usage will differ from 600 kWh. The Rate of Last Resort is set until December 31, 2026. Weekly market context is in the Alberta Energy Market Report.
