Calgary Expats and Digital Nomads: Extend Your Deadline for Alberta’s $100 Energy Rebate

Albertans, including expats and digital nomads living in or currently based in Calgary, have more time to secure the $100 Energy Rebate. The deadline has been extended to October 31, giving everyone an extra month to apply for this one-time payment.

The rebate is available to Albertans who are 18 or older, have filed a 2025 tax return, and have a household income of $225,000 or less. Applications can be submitted through a secure online portal. Here’s the deal: if you haven't applied yet, now you have until the end of October. The rebate is non-taxable and will be delivered within 14 days of applying, typically via e-transfer to your bank account or email.

This extension is a win for those who might have missed the original deadline or who are just now getting around to checking it out. As someone who has been raising a family in Calgary since 2020, I can appreciate the practical benefits of this extra time. After all, saving $100 can go a long way in covering those unexpected expenses or adding to your savings.
