What it does

Yukon Energy Rates is a transparent calculator for every fuel that heats and powers a Yukon home. It decodes the tiered electricity bill line by line — basic charge, Tier 1, Tier 2, riders, rate-rider adjustments, and GST — and puts that result side by side with natural gas, oil, propane, wood, and a heat pump on a true cost-per-useful-kWh basis.

Tiered bill, decoded

Watch how Tier 1 and Tier 2 kWh charges, the basic monthly charge, riders, and GST combine into your total — with no black-box math.

Month-by-month accuracy

Pick any month and any monthly use. The app uses the correct seasonal rates and thresholds so the answer reflects what your bill actually does.

Useful-heat comparisons

Stack electric resistance, a cold-climate heat pump, natural gas, oil, propane, and wood side by side — on a true cost-per-useful-kWh basis.

Live Yukon data

Fuel prices come from the Yukon Government Fuel Price Survey and electricity rates from ATCO/YEC, kept current behind the scenes.
