| We have recently become aware of several phishing scams related to the Government of Alberta’s Electricity Rebate Program. To be absolutely clear, the rebates will be applied directly to your invoice; there is nothing you need to do to claim the $150 rebate. If you receive a text message that refers to Service Alberta, the CRA, or any other government entity, that is a scam, and you should delete the message immediately. You can also report phishing scams to the Government of Canada’s Fraud Reporting System or by calling 1-888-495-8501.Here is an example of one such scam: |

| On March 7, 2022, the Government of Alberta announced an electricity rebate program in response to rising electricity costs. This program will provide eligible consumers with $150 in total rebates on their electricity bills, with three payments of $50 over three consecutive months. The rebates will be provided as a reduction to the distribution charges for each eligible consumer’s site. A line item will be set out for each $50 rebate under the heading “GOA Utility Commodity Rebate.” Electricity rebates are expected to go out starting on July invoices. Again, there is nothing you need to do to claim the rebates. Any request for personal or banking information to claim the rebates is a phishing scam. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Email: customercare@parkpower.ca Phone: 780-640-2128 |
