These are the benefits of switching back to regulated natural gas: 

  • When market conditions are favourable, the regulated rate can be lower than the fixed rate plans available. 
  • The rate is reviewed and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission to ensure that it is reasonable and fair. 
  • You don't need to sign a contract with us when you register, and there are no enrollment or exit fees. 

Yes, you can! Most competitive energy rate plans in Alberta do not have exit fees. However, we always recommend that you review the Terms and Conditions of your current contract to double-check if there are any exit fees or cancellation charges for switching to another provider. 

Over the last year, the regulated natural gas rate in Alberta has dropped significantly. And the good news is that it’s forecasted* to remain low in 2025! There’s no better time than now to be on the regulated rate for natural gas. View forecast rates here.

*The forecast is based on the current forward wholesale natural gas price curve on March 25, 2025, and will not be the exact rates. Natural gas rates can change suddenly based on weather, unplanned infrastructure outages, and global events.
