Energy Rates
Green that pays
As a micro-generator, you deserve a system that pays attention to detail, so you can buy low and sell high.
Cumulative Meter
With traditional meters —known as cumulative—you can go 100% green and help save the planet, while getting ready to move to a smarter interval meter.
Interval Meter
Interval meters track what you use and sell hourly. You become a smarter user ready to benefit from the ups and downs of electricity prices.
Rates
Your meter type determines your energy rate.
Registered micro-generators with bi-directional interval meters (BDIM) can trade on the Alberta energy market (AESO power pool).

Variable rate (total usage) Your distributor takes your total usage and estimates how much you used each hour based on averages. We apply pool price to those hourly estimates. |
