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?
Depends how much your electricity rate going up makes you want to shit your pants.

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 whileThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

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)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

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?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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
