Enmax EasyMax - Fixed Vs. Variable

[HR-ZD403]

Just wondering whoever is on the EasyMax program if you're on a fixed or variable rate?

Currently the rates are as follows:

Electricity: Fixed: 7.79 ¢ per KWH or Variable: 3.587 ¢ per KWH

Natural Gas: Fixed: $5.99 per GJ or Variable: $3.801 per GJ

From some older threads I've noticed for the most part fixed electricity and variable natural gas.
----------------
Also was wondering for anyone that has a programmable thermostat when you're away from the home, what's the lowest temperature you have programmed in?

Thanks!

[Mitsu3000gt]

My nat gas is in my condo fees but I'd be going Variable on Nat Gas (I trade it as part of my job) and fixed for power.

Enmax told me the EasyMax rate was 8.XX cents when they called me 2 days ago...I didn't know you could get Fixed in the 7's.

Wow that's interesting how they told you a different rate, the rate I mentioned was directly from the website.

Mines fixed @6.9 cents/kWh and floating for gas

There are so many speculative natgas plays that I think it will be a LONG time before natgas goes up to where it was when RalphBucks came out.

Good to know, it must have been the Wednesday they called me. Maybe I should call them back and get on that 7.79!

[benyl]

Mine is fixed at 8 cent until sometime in 2016.

If I lock in again today, I lose the $100 credit I am currently getting. The new rate only saves me $1.50 / month. Not worth changing.

[kenny]

Change it so it applies the easymax credit to your bill each month. Then you can play the speculative game of floating electricity in winter, fixed in summer and floating gas all day err day.

Floating electricity is at 3.8cents I think.

[benyl]

the easymax credit is gone.

[Cos]

[kenny]

Yeah don't think they offer EasyMax Rewards to new customers but you'll still have it even if you switch from fixed to floating and vice versa. Mine was on annual redemption and it was just applied to last bill. I flipped over to floating electricity from the summer rate of $0.089.

Wonder when I should jump back on fixed with this new insight from Cos :P

Going to heat the house with oven this month haha :rofl:

[Cos]

[HR-ZD403]

So it looks like Fixed Electricity and Variable Natural Gas are the best way to go with Enmax using the EasyMax program.

[ExtraSlow]

That's the popular combination.

[quick_scar]

I float both. Just try to keep the power usage down in the summer when prices are high.

**EDIT** I am also one of their old grandfathered customers so rates are already cheaper for me. If you have been a customer since before a certain date you get a different rate then newer customers so floating makes sense to me.

[lilmira]

WTH, tried to switch to 5yr fixed and it's showing 8.9c/kWh after you logged in. Oh well, it's only a few bucks difference. The fixed rate for gas is correct at 5.99/GJ as posted.

[DENZILDON]

7.79 if you are signing up now but no more rewards.

If you are on the old rate of 8 cents and it expires. The fixed rate is 8.9 but you get to keep the $100 rewards forever until you close the account.

It really depends if you use a lot of elec. If you use tons then it might be better to switch sign to the new Easymax. But be wary as the gas floating transaction fee also changes on the new Easymax.

I'm keeping my old easymax even if my fixed rate is now 8.9. It turned out to be cheaper still.

I just called enmax. Here is why:

We are on an old plan. The old plans that include the $100/year easymax credits are only offering an 8.9/KWH fixed rate. If you want the 7.79c rate you have to give up the $100/year credit. When switching to the new plan the delivery cost for gas also goes from 47c to 99c per GJ.

[benyl]

so wait, even when you rate expires, you can keep the $100?

[lilmira]

Got it! I'll take the 100 bux credit. I don't think I use enough electricity to offset that.

[DENZILDON]

Originally posted by benyl

The old easymax 8.0 cents is like a never ending agreement. If your 8 cents expires it automatically switched to floating and it's your decision to call in to put it back to a fixed rate which is 8.9 for this old Easymax.
The rewards per year continues until pretty much you cancel the contract or you don't pay the bill and Enmax cancels the contract.

[Euro838]

They are also offering the "Choose Free" option now where you are locked into them for 5 years but you get the entire first year of electricity free. For the 5 years, you can switch between fixed and floating with the 30 days notice.

No the called me to offer it today. Have to sign up before 25th.

Up to a maximum of 750 dollars for the year. Obviously only covers usage as well.

Basically they are giving you a year of usage for free to lock in at 7.79

[Tik-Tok]

Really? Hmm, I'm currently still locked at 7.99 from a few years ago, but my wife is now home for maternity leave, and will probably be using more electricity than ever. Maybe I should call them.

This is true but you are also locked in an agreement for 5 years and will have to pay ~$100 per service (gas/elec) if you cancel....or even move.

I called and talked to Enmax about this. I would lose my $100/month easymax reward, and some fees would double, not sure which one, but she said that would be worth an easy $100 over the term.. So, over the 5 years, I'd be down $600ish due to my current Easymax deal. So, the total money I'd save would be possibly $150 over 5 years, with penalties if I want to get out.

Now, that's like $20/year savings, but if electricity takes a dive and goes to 5c/kWh and I want to change my easymax rate.. I won't be able to. She also told me that because I'm an easymax customer with a rebate, I'd be able to simply renew that same deal ongoing next time in 2017 as well.

[Masked Bandit]

Here's what I want to know, Enmax obviously has more data to analyze than any one individual could ever compile and I'm sure they go through closely to design these fixed programs. Over the long haul, if Enmax was going to make LESS money by offering a fixed price on anything, do you think they would really do it? No. I run variable on both power & gas and I have to believe that over my lifetime that will be the cheapest option. Or am I missing something here?

[codetrap]

Masked, I've been considering switching to variable as well, as we average around 780kWh/month this year. I pay 8c/kWh, but I'm not subject to the market variations. Last year, in southern alberta, the average price over the year was 7.74c/kWh. $692.64 worth of power at my usage, vs $748.8 at my locked in rate. So, an average diff a month of $4.68 for 2014. In 2013, I was ahead of the game every single month. In 2013, the average was 8.6c/kWh.. so I was ahead of the game the entire year.

Enmax floating electricity has been much lower in 2014 than 8c except for 2 months.

I feel that this doesn't paint an accurate picture as these numbers don't include taxes, delivery charges, and transaction fees.

[codetrap]

spike98, I didn't include those because they're either fairly static charges, or are the same incremental cost whether it's 2c or 10c. My understanding of the "rider" charges is they're a fixed ratio on a per kWh, not a proportional one. In short, they're the same regardless of the market price per kWh, solely based on how many kWh's I use.

I think the charges are different. If you read the fine print for Fixed:

Advertised rate does not include an administration fee of an average of $7.10 per site, per month, regulated charges depending on usage and service area, or taxes.

and then Variable:

Advertised rate does not include an administration fee of an average of $7.10 per site, per month, regulated charges depending on usage and service area, taxes,and transaction fees of $0.01 per kWh for floating electricity rate.

So now your average price of variable is now +$0.01 per kWh. So average variable for 2014 would have been $0.0725 per kWh and only margainlly better than the fixed $0.0779 per kWh.

For 2013 your average rate would have been $0.1099 per kWh.

[codetrap]

spiker98, I didn't do a good job of explaining what I meant. I didn't include all the other fee's because like you say, it's going to be a per kWh charge no matter what. So, in my instance, I'm paying $0.08/kWh in Electricity, and a combined $0.0686/kWh in charges which would be the same if I were at a $0.078/kWh..

Right now, on my Bill I have 861kWh @0.08/kWh $68.88
Admin Charge $6.54 - flat fee on a per day basis
Deliver Charge $19.02 - Usage Based $0.02/kWh
Transmission Charge $16.76 - Usage Based $0.019/kWh
Balancing Pool Allocation -$4.86 - Usage Based $$0.0056/kWh
Rate Riders $9.73 - Usage Based $0.011/kWh
Local Access Fee $11.32 - Usage Based 0.013/kWh

This isn't totally accurate of course.. but I think that helps explain it. The part about if I switched, they would increase my admin (electricity) & transaction (gas) fees as those were part of my current easymax plan.

[Cos]

.

[Mibz]

Enmax offering 5.99c electricity for 3 years right now. But gas goes up from Floating + 47c to Floating + 99c.

So in January I'd save about $15, May would be $16.

Not so fine print:
Some differences you'll notice with this new plan

We've discontinued EasyMax Rewards® Dollars.

The administration fee on your current plan is based on what your wires service provider charges; now it will be an average of $7.10 per each electricity and natural gas site per month which we may change from time to time.

Your current floating electricity plan does not have a term. Now the Floating Electricity plan has a term.

When the term of your plan expires (if applicable), we may automatically continue you on the longest term fixed rate plan then available.

If the rate that your floating electricity rate is based on materially changes, we may move you to the longest term fixed electricity plan then available.

The transaction fee for the floating natural gas plan will increase from 47¢/GJ to 99¢/GJ. We may change the transaction fee from time to time. So I save about $15 a month for 3 years and then they fuck me? Is that how this plays out?

[ercchry]

mine was already floating+$0.99/GJ :cry:

i did switch my fixed electric to the new $0.0599 plan though, who the hell knows what the rate will be in 3 years, but you can switch back and forth monthly if you really want to between fixed and floating :dunno:

[kenny]

Nice, I'm still riding out the floating electricity haha, a bill I have from couple months ago shows I used 802kWh @ $0.023 = $18.57. I've been waiting to jump back onto fixed, but prices keep trending lower so I guess I'll stay put.

I don't think Enmax sees this trend reversing either which is probably why they're now offering this new lower fixed rate to entice some people over.

Only problem with floating is that all it takes is 1 crazy month (heatwave + unscheduled plant shutdowns) where the price spikes to wipe out all the savings :rofl:

Where do you see a fixed 5.99 rate?

[spikerS]

*bump*

Just got off the phone with EnMax because of my move, and switched over the power.

I went from the $0.085 KWH rate to a $0.067 KWH rate, and my natural gas stayed floating +$0.99

I was wondering, is there a better company, or rate out there to go with?

[msommers]

I decided on fix electricity and floating gas

[ZenOps]

Enmax offered me the 5.99 cent per kwh with $4.99 per GJ natgas.

Didn't take it. I still prefer my 8 cent per kwh with floating + 47 cent per GJ natgas rate because it still has the $8.40 cashback each month.

[codetrap]

.

[nzwasp]

Enmax offered me the 5.99 fixed electricity and then i can either do the 4.99 gas or floating gas. I for sure would do floating gas since gas is so cheap. However like zen said they take away the cashback, and at the end of the 3 year term they can put you on whatever the current fixed rate is automatically.

Im not sure what to do.

What does beyond think?

[killramos]

Do it. 5.99 is dirt cheap

Look at your monthly consumption avg x difference in rate less credit you normally receive. In my case, the credit was always higher then the difference in price spread.

Im sure Enmax has this all figured out. Its not going to be a deal for end users most of the time.

[bigbadboss101]

I am on Enmax, flex rate for both. My colleague is thinking of going to DE. Fixed rate, 1/2 the admin fees and free smart thermostat.

[EK69]

did u guys call enmax to get the 5.99 electricity rate?
im seeing 6.79 or 6.99 on their website

and 4.99 locked in for gas

not sure which way to go, need to get a new gas/electricity plan for a new house in airdrie :banghead:

[nzwasp]

The 5.99 was offered to me as a loyalty plan since i'd been on easymax since 2009.

They emailed me about it.

[Yuubah]

if you get the 5.99 plan, i thought you lose the $100 easymax credit every year?

[nzwasp]

Yeah you do thats one thing I need to weigh up, however my easy max credit does not come to $100 a year - its more like $7 a month

[Kavy]

My understanding is to get the nest thermostat you need to sign up with their "flex-through" service on gas and that the rate is $2 above the current market value. That would kill the savings come winter I would think.

On the enmax offer I am in the same boat. Currently on fixed 8 cents so it would seem like a no brainer to take the 6 cent offer but I feel like I'm missing something on the gas rate as I'm at 2.77 and I don't want to budge off the floating rate. What am I missing on this enmax deal?

[killramos]

DE Guys were going door to door this Monday.

I was in a pretty bad mood and the wife dragged me from the middle of a game with some friends to "answer the door".

I opened it, looked at his hat, and said " Direct Energy? No we aren't interested", shut and lock door.

Then i told the wife if she doesnt want to deal with something don't answer the fucking door.:whipped:

[dj_rice]

I'm currently on the 8.9 Fixed Elec and Floating Gas +99. My renewal date is July 2018.

They offered me 6.79 Fixed Electricity and 4.99 Fixed Gas or same as original Floating +99


My EasyMax rewards are about $110/year.


I looked up my usage and it hovers around 260-270kwh which is about $4-5 savings a month if I switch.

[ZenOps]

If you can get less than 6 cents per kwh, an all electric car like the Nissan Leaf has to start to look pretty appealing, even assuming you have to pre-warm the seats for a solid half hour in the winter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf

Depending on commuting distance, you could be looking at as little as $2 per day in electricity if you trickle charge at home at night.

The cost of the battery (nickel or lithium) which is arguably about half the price of an electric car, has dropped from about $18,000 to $6,000 in the last five years or so, but I don't think its going to get much cheaper in the next five (it might actually start going up in price soon) IE: Five years ago, a nickel battery electric car probably would not have been a good idea from a cost standpoint.

Its probably totally politically incorrect to be talking electric car in oil Alberta, but its also coal Alberta - which means cheap electricity.

BTW: If even one out of a thousand commuters converts to electric, there will be tremendous strain on nickel and lithium production to produce the minimum 300 pound battery needed. Realistically, there is only an "excess" of five pounds nickel per person, even in Canada (as anyone who has bought Nimh AA batteries can attest to, in usable form - it commands a very high price)

[FraserB]

Bumping this.

Is fixed electric and floating gas still the best bet?

Looks like 6.79 for 3 years electric and 4.99+0.99 for gas

I fixed electricity and floated gas.

I'm paying $2.99 for gas last month, no way gas will go $6 any time soon.

I also notice there are 2 different prices for electricity. I had 5.99 for one account and 6.79 for the other account.

Electric car does start to make sense for a daily driver. It worked out to be $1/day vs $7.2/day right now.

Yeah, ridiculous to go otherwise. I've been on fixed elec, floating gas for years, and once in awhile I do the math to see if it's still worth it, and it always has been.

[ZenOps]

At 6 cents per kwh things like heating definitely still favour natgas.

6 cents per kwh = $16.666 per GJ.

But its a lot closer compared to gasoline, although it still favours gasoline.

To truly entice people to electric cars would be 5 cents or less, which would be tough to achieve on a long term basis.

I'm on floating electricity and gas right now. electricity has been hovering between 3.8-8.2c/kwh this year. Currently sitting at about 5c/kwh.. saving myself a whopping $15/month haha!

[ExtraSlow]

I have seen some smaller natural gas turbine generators that are about the size of a refrigerator. Those things are amazing, and as you say, damn near silent. Would be a decent option for a rural property where the chance of a power outage was higher, and you could have several buildings sharing the same power source. Although i guess many rural properties don't have natural gas piped in, so that kills that.

For me it's a wash. I am probably up $8 a month on average with the new deal. But it's great if start driving electric car.

Still better than tiered pricing of Ontario where the cheapest is 8.3 cents/kwh

[ExtraSlow]

Honestly, It is somewhat insane that we don't have tiered pricing here in Alberta. Peak consumption is what is causing us those supply issues in the summer heat waves. But honestly, if it doesn't cost me more, I'll keep my AC running full tilt, because I'm just not altruistic enough to do otherwise.

I guess the 6.99 plan comes with a Philips Hue starter kit. Didn't even read that in the fine print.

I'm only using 525 Kwh or so.

And that was before Windows 10 (I could never get the system to sleep properly, so I just left it on all the time)

And I also bought a bunch of the Walmart special $3.88 LEDs (10 watts, to replace 50 watt halogens)

So for certain the 8.0 cent per kwh with $8 per month rebate is a better deal for me.

And: Dayum, natgas is cheap.

Future electricity prices scare the hell out of me, I can't see them going anywhere but up. Changing away from coal is going to be massively expensive for Alberta. But who knows if they will just tack on a bunch of riders, or actually raise the price per KWH. I guess it makes a difference to the strategy of fixed vs floating rate.

Counter argument is that a lot of load has been lost in this recession. Oil and Gas facilities that would be using a lot (or even large steel foundry's, etc) just aren't operating at peak loads. So while in the long rum electricity is going to rise a lot, I don't see nearly as much pressure in the short run.

FUUUUU locked in at 7.8 for 4 more years.

:eek: :eek: You'd be using 2500kwh to save $100 on savings of $0.04/kwh...

Direct Energy has a flyer out at the moment for a rate of 5.76c per kwh - only catch is gas is locked to $3.78 per GJ which seems like a bit of a rip considering the price for floating gas at the moment. Then again if you have all electric home comfort appliances it could be for you.

They look pretty good considering you get the 100 dollar sign up bonus 50 year credit for having both utilities with them and the ability to pay with your credit card so reward points there also :thumbsup:

also admin fees are 50% of what enmax charges
