Frequently Asked Questions


Q: If I switch energy suppliers, will my service reliability be affected?
A: No. Services provided by Energy Marketers differ only by price and other contract features and the electricity or natural gas will continue to come to your home or business, through the same network of wires or pipes, no matter who you choose as an energy retailer. By law, the local utility company is not allowed to provide different care levels to customers who have chosen an alternate supplier. You will continue to receive the same level of delivery quality, emergency response and meter reading from your current local utility. If, for some reason, an Energy Marketer decided to abruptly end its services, then that company's customers would automatically be enrolled with the regulated rate provider.


Q: Are there any fees to enrol?
A: There are no enrolment fees to choose us as your Energy Marketer.

 

Q: Do you offer different payment options?
A: Pre-authorized debit from a checking account is our preferred method of payment. We do also offer Credit Card Payment.

 

Q: Can I change my Payment Due Date?
A: Our payment due dates are based on when your meter is read by the distribution company.

Q: What If I have a Micro-generation Site?
A: Electricity exported to the grid by Small Micro-Generators (MG), as defined under the provisions of the Province of Alberta, Electric Utilities Act, Micro-Generation Regulation, is calculated based on meter read information provided by your distribution company.
