CALGARY, AB, May 26, 2025 /CNW/ - ATCO Ltd. (TSX: ACO.X) (TSX: ACO.Y) /Canadian Utilities Limited (TSX: CU) Among the updates ATCO provided to share owners at its recent Annual General Meeting was that its ATCO Gas and ATCO Electric businesses are on track to deliver more than $500 million in savings in distribution rates to its Alberta customers during the current regulatory rate period of 2023-2028. Distribution rates are the costs of operating the pipes and wires that provide natural gas and electricity to homes and businesses and represent the portion of the utility bill that ATCO Gas and ATCO Electric are responsible for. This achievement reflects an eight per cent reduction in natural gas and electricity utility distribution rates, made possible through ATCO's focused efficiency measures and cost-saving initiatives since 2018. Of note, ATCO is the only Alberta utility delivering natural gas and electricity distribution rate reductions to customers over the 2023-2028 period.
