    I'm on a 5 year fixed price for 6.59¢/kWh for electricity.

    Nat gas is on floating Gas + 99¢/GJ Transaction Fee

    Is that good? Haha.

    Just got a letter to say my 5 year 5.99 fixed is ending in a month and they can put me on 6.59 fixed for 3 years only wondering if there are better deals - maybe its time to switch to atco.

    Bump:

    Note from Enmax today:

    "The Alberta government removed the rate cap of 6.8¢/kWh from the Regulated Rate Option (RRO) for electricity on November 30, 2019.

    You are currently on an EasyMax® floating rate plan that follows the RRO and will be affected by this change. Removing the cap could lead to greater fluctuations in the price you pay for electricity.
    EasyMax® still has you covered.

    One of the benefits of EasyMax®, is that you’re free to switch between the fixed and floating rate once a month, at no cost. All of our available EasyMax® fixed rate electricity plans currently feature fixed rates which are below the previous rate cap*.


    So... whats the best bet moving forward?

    Well I know someone who likely does know the electricity market quite well. Enmax.

    And trying to beat them seems like a fools errand.

    Unless like I said, fluctuations in your bill scare you.

    After just moving back to Calgary recently had to get utilities sorted out, called Enmax and Atco....Atco didn't offer anything more/better than what's listed on their website for current rates.

    The Enmax rep I spoke with over the phone offered me 5.79¢/kWh on a 3 year term so I took it, easy max so I can bail down the road if things change for the better.

    You can view this and last years rates here - https://ucahelps.alberta.ca/regulated-rates.aspx

    Electricity has been hitting the cap limit for most of this year, and now with the cap gone, it could continue to roll into the 7+ cents range...but who knows of course.

    I think Atco is realizing the mistake of their 3/3/3 promos haha. I don't expect them to offer anything crazy for a while

    I'm still on the old EasyMax plan where I get a $115 rebate credit end of the year. Was wondering if I should switch to fixed as well, I believe I lose that old EasyMax rebate credit if I do change plans to the new EasyMax plan

    No you don't. You don't get as good a rate as the current EasyMax plan, but you still get the rebate. I locked in yesterday on the old Easy max with the $100 / year rebate at 6.49 cents / KWh.

    Just make sure you pick the right one... haha

    Ahhh I see it now. Looks like I have 3 options to choose from.

    Old style EasyMax which gives me $6.59/KWH and $100 yearly credit, new style EasyMax Loyalty plan gives me $6.29/KWH but only a 1 time $100 credit to account total and another option. Can't remember.

    Enmax was sending out emails to customers regarding the cap removal. It didn't have a lot in it. FortisAlberta has a bit of info on their website too.

    Renewed 5.79 with Enmax today. I was on RRO before.
    Honestly not sure it makes a huge difference as you don't use much on a condo anyways. Free coffee every month I guess?

    Even if they doubled the rates, it would still only be an extra $50 to the average Beyonder. (judging from the power usage polls in the past)

    Thanks for this! I switched to 5 year $6.59/KWH fixed today. It was a little confusing to figure out if you could keep the old EasyMax still.

    Each more information tad says they're discontinued the rewards!

    I think it supposed to entice you into paying higher fees...


    I've been with Enmax on Easymax since 2005 I think. If that matters...

    Did your fees change at all? Or did it stay much the same since changing to this plan?

    I too opted to switch from floating to fixed electricity with the offer, although for some reason I think my offer was 5.79 and $150 credit? Maybe I'm wrong about that. Regardless, the reason I opted to switch was the destabilization of generation with the moves to renewables. There was a good discussion on radio regarding it, and generation potential, as well as importing which could see significantly higher fluctuation and overall rates just due to supply issues. I took a look at the historical rates and found that I was (obviously with the cap) at or just above the fixed rate (another reason I think it was 5.79). There are some fee adjustments, but based on my usage, I calculated the change in monthly for the last year and it would still end up saving me a bit, plus the bill credit of $150, and the ability to still switch back if I wanted to. I haven't done any sort of rate gambles in a long time because I just haven't cared, but I think that locking electricity has merit with the shift in supply and generation creating alot of potential issues
