Possibilities in the pipe for Nordegg

July 17, 2025 Media inquiries

Alberta’s government is reducing utility costs and boosting rural economic development by expanding natural gas service to the Nordegg area.

To address the higher heating costs faced by families and businesses in the Nordegg regions – saving them up to 25 per cent on their utility bills – Alberta’s government is providing $2.5 million through the Rural Gas Program to build a natural gas pipeline. This pipeline will provide Nordegg and surrounding communities with safer, more reliable and more affordable heating, as well as more opportunities to grow their local economies.

Albertans living in rural and remote areas face unique challenges in accessing the affordable, reliable utilities they need. In Nordegg, to keep families, homes and businesses warm during cooler weather, residents have relied primarily on propane and other alternative heating fuels, and as a result, face significantly higher utility bills than the average Albertan.

“By delivering natural gas to the Nordegg area, we’re making life more affordable for families and businesses, as well as laying the groundwork to help this beautiful region of our province grow and thrive for many years to come.”

Nathan Neudorf, Minister of Affordability and Utilities

“This project is a game-changer for Nordegg and the surrounding area. Reliable, affordable access to natural gas means real savings for families and a boost for the local economy. I’m proud to see this investment in our communities and their prosperity.”

Jason Nixon, MLA for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre
