Businesses are being invited by an Alberta electricity consultant to join a class-action lawsuit that he is organizing against TransAlta. David Gray, an electricity consultant in Edmonton and former director of Alberta’s Utilities Consumer Advocate, is organizing the court action, but has not yet hired legal representation.
He hopes to file the lawsuit by the end of August. He says he has already had in from more than 200 businesses interested in joining the lawsuit. “Basically anybody who was on the default commercial rate, they’re all affected. Anybody who was on a flow-through rate through a retailer was affected,” Gray said. “So we’ve got everybody from mom and pop shops up to manufacturing installations.”
