Currently have variable gas rate and fixed electricity. Renewal in August and the new rate is quite a bit higher. When it auto renews it will go to the new rate? Have you phoned in to negotiate?
I'm in the exact same boat, and called to ask if they can do anything better than the posted rates, was told a big NO, no loyalty or other incentive plans available, and the web posted rates is the only option at this time.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If anyone is able to secure a better deal, please post on here how you did it.

There's zero incentive for them to offer better rates, we have no negotiating power.

Thought I would cancel fixed by Apr.
Given what's happening... That didn't happen.
No regrats.

This is my first year where everything is fixed for energy for me.
I just had my central air installed. Does that mean I can't have it running 24/7 anymore?

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Me too and a bunch of people I talk to are the same. Never thought about going fixed until last fall.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Anyone compared the all in rates for Atco vs Enmax?
I just signed up for a new Enmax 5 year term, at these rates:
Energy Plan*:
EasyMax: 9.29˘/kWh 5-Year Fixed Electricity
EasyMax: $5.79/GJ 5-Year Fixed Natural Gas
*Delivery, other charges, taxes, and an Administration Fee of an average of $7.10 per site, per month, for each of electricity and natural gas, are extra.
Atco is advertising these rates, which sound better:
Electricity
$0.0849/kWh
+ $6.99 per service per month
Natural Gas
$4.99/GJ
+ $6.99 per service per month
Are there some other fees/service charges that inflate the Atco price to a point where its more expensive than Enmax?

Wow - these are high. I'm paying 5.99 fixed for electricity, and 4.09 fixed for gas. It does say right under my rates that I have a monthly fee of $7.10 (avg) for each of electricity and gas.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
What about Direct Energy instead? Fixed rates right now are bonkers
Ultracrepidarian
Direct Energy has similar rates, but at least they give you a Nest thermostat:

At this point, would one just ride variable and let 'er buck?
No way you're hitting above the fixed rate the rest of summer and into fall/winter.
But I could be wrong.
Utilities are betting that the economy will go into recession and commodity prices will fall sooner than later.
I leave it to you if you think that is the case.
Anyone currently on Direct Energy that can provide real life example of how much the monthly fees are?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Not Direct Energy, but here's ATCO for comparison.

Hmm, looks like delivery charges are a bit less with Atco?
The thing is there is a zero bound for how low the rates can drop (the cost to produce/distribute the product) but the upper bound is limitless. Locking in at low rates of 5-6c/kwh and $4-5lgj just makes sense. The minuscle savings if the floating rate drops is nowhere remotely close to averaging out the double/triple the rates easily can and have shown to go to in a regular summer heat or winter cold.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
