Frequently asked questions

While a market-based rate (e.g. floating rate or regulated natural gas rate) can save you money when the market rate is low, a fixed-rate plan provides more price stability and could be a better choice for you and your wallet. Here are the key differences between these energy options to help you choose the right fit for your needs:

Fixed rates: These plans offer a set price per unit of energy for a specified contract term, providing price stability and predictability in monthly bills.

Floating (variable) rates: These rates fluctuate monthly based on market conditions, allowing consumers to benefit when market prices are low but also exposing them to potential price increases.

Regulated rates: Regulated rates are the default rates for consumers who haven't signed a contract with a competitive retailer. While the regulated natural gas changes monthly, the Rate of Last Resort is a fixed rate set every two years. Both regulated rates are approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission to ensure fairness.Ìý

As of January 1, 2025, Alberta’s Regulated Rate Option (RRO) has transitioned to the Rate of Last Resort (RoLR) as the default electricity rate for customers who haven't chosen a competitive retailer.ÌýThe RoLR will offer a fixed rate set every two years, with adjustments at the end of the term capped at a maximum of 10%.

Here’s how the Rate of Last Resort fixed rate compares to competitive fixed rate plans:

  1. Rate determination: The RoLR fixed rate is a regulated fixed rate that is set every two years and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). The RoLR can only go up or down by a maximum of 10% at the end of each 2-year term. Whereas, competitive fixed rate plans are determined by individual retailers based on market conditions and business strategies, offering various term lengths and rates.
  2. Flexibility and choice: The RoLR fixed rate is automatically applied to customers without a competitive contract and doesn’t have any customization options. With a competitive fixed rate plan, you can select different term lengths, rates and additional features like green energy options as well as benefit from incentives and promotions.
  3. Pricing stability: While both rates provide price stability, competitive fixed rate plans allow you to select a term length that fits your preferences.
  4. Additional fees: The RoLR fixed rate includes a 0.1¢ per kWh surcharge for consumer awareness, which goes directly to the Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA).

Signing up for a fixed rate can help you avoid market volatility and ensure financial security through rate stability for as long as you need it. Plus, there are no enrolment or exit fees. When rates go back down or drop below your fixed rate, you can always switch to a market-based rate plan and take advantage of that lower rate. Also, for some, knowing exactly what you'll pay for electricity every month allows you to be financially prepared and offers peace of mind.

The more cost-effective option will vary depending on market conditions and individual consumption patterns. Ultimately, finding the right fit for your home depends on your household's energy consumption patterns, budget flexibility, and risk tolerance.

Fixed rates provide budget certainty, while floating rates and regulated natural gas rates can offer savings when market prices are low.Ìý

Yes, you can! All our rate options have no enrolment or exit fees, allowing you to switch between our fixed, floating and regulated rates without penalties. However, if you’re switching to Å·ÃÀÇéÉ« Energy from another provider, it's essential to review their contract terms, as some may include exit fees.Ìý

Both floating rates and the regulated natural gas rate are adjusted monthly based on market conditions.

If you’re not enrolled in a fixed or floating energy rate plan, you will be automatically placed on the default rate (e.g. Rate of Last Resort or regulated natural gas rate) with the regulated provider in your area.Ìý
