Enmax seem to have released some aggressive door to door type salemen to get you sign long term energy contracts.
During the scare tactic session, a few point interested me and want to see if any of you can prove/disprove them.
1) "Electrcity will be charged by the clock. Say off peak would be $0.060/kwh and 5pm-8pm would be $0.150/kwh. They were gonna implement this Janurary but postponed til next year due to election year."
I think this is BS because is our meters equipped to poll this? I think this will happen eventually but at least 3-5 years away or in new neighborhoods.
2) "Next year, all energy cost will be doubled when government release the control on pricing to market."
I thought government will also stay in control what company can charge for energy. That's why Enmax and others have been increasing delivery charges and admin fees to increase profit.
Any truth to these points? Any insiders can enlighten me/us?
The contract rates are not that great on first glance. Roughly about 10% less the highest rate for the year. Will there be an energy crisis in 3-5 years that make locking rate viable?
Your thoughts would be appreicated.
