Cabin Radio has heard from some NWT residents who were surprised by the size of their recent power bills.
Electricity in the NWT is always expensive, costing multiple times what people in parts of southern Canada pay. However, a few northerners are still raising their eyebrows at recent costs.
There could be plenty of reasons for that: everything from running a whole whack of Christmas lights to using electricity for heat during recent very cold weeks, where previous winters were milder. The length of billing periods also makes a difference.
Even so, some customers are finding it hard to understand why their bill looks the way it does.
Whether or not your power bill surprised you lately, please take a few minutes to help us assess the situation by sending your anonymized power bill data.

The tool below strips out your name and any identifying information, then sends us just the raw data we need to see how bills are changing.
The more bills we receive going further back in time, the clearer the picture will be. You can attach as many as you like – ideally as PDFs downloaded from your online account with your power distributor, but also as photos or screenshots (which may not work as well).
Thanks for helping us keep on top of how NWT residents’ power costs are changing.
