<br>
A coalition of groups representing residential, business and
industrial power consumers are warning of rapidly rising transmission
rates in Alberta, where electricity consultant David Gray predicts
those rates, which are currently 15 percent of electricity bills in
North America to 45 percent in Alberta, and Gray placed the blame for
those rapidly rising rates on the Alberta Electric System Operator for
overestimating demand for electricity that led to<b> massive
overbuilding of the transmission systems</b> in the province.<br>
