Albertans can apply for the $100 provincial energy rebate on Wednesday.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the one-time rebate earlier in June instead of replacing a gas tax cut.
Under the new plan, Alberta residents who are 18 or older, have filed a 2025 tax return, and have a household income of $225,000 or less are eligible to apply for the Energy Rebate through the provincial website.
Eligible individuals will receive $100, while two‑adult households will receive $200. Families may receive additional $100 payments for each eligible adult family member or child aged 18 or older living in the same home.
It’s not taxable, and there’s no need to report the funds to the Canada Revenue Agency.
The province, meanwhile, is continuing to charge the 13‑cent‑per‑litre provincial fuel tax. Smith said during her announcement that gas tax reductions don’t ensure savings flow to consumers.
In the meantime, nearly 3.4 million Albertans will be eligible for the direct payments, according to Smith, which would cost over $300 million.
This also comes after months of elevated fuel prices linked to the U.S.–Iran conflict. The province tabled a $4.1 billion deficit for the 2025-26 fiscal year; the government says the final impact of oil prices on the deficit will be detailed in the year‑end fiscal report due before the end of June.
