Your electricity and natural gas use can change just as quickly. So it doesn't make sense to lock yourself into an inflexible contract. With ATCO Energy, you have the power to choose a plan that fits you like a glove.

Build your own energy plan
Step 1
Choose your energy type
We offer single plans for electricity or natural gas or you can bundle both services with us.
Step 2
Select term length
By the way, you're free to change or cancel your plan at any time. We simply guarantee your rate for the length of your term.
Step 3
Customize your rates
Get comfortable with a stable guaranteed rate plan, or choose a variable rate plan that follows the market.
Step 4
Be more sustainable
Environmentally conscious? You can source a portion or all of your electricity equivalent from renewables. A renewable premium will be charged based on your electricity consumption.
Choose a guaranteed or variable electricity rate for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years. You’re free to change plans at any time.
Variable electricity rate
The price of electricity on the market fluctuates every hour and appears on your bill as a weighted monthly average. With our Variable Rate Plan, your rate follows the market and can fluctuate up and down based on several factors like supply, demand, and the weather.
The variable electricity rate is suitable for customers who are comfortable with some variability in their rates in exchange for potential savings when market prices are low.
Guaranteed electricity price
A guaranteed electricity price is a stable rate option that gives you predictability for the term of your plan. When the market fluctuates, your price per kWh remains constant.
For every kWh of electricity you use, the guaranteed price is an all-in rate that your consumption will be based on. Because your consumption will vary from month to month, your energy charge will vary, but the unit price won’t!
The guaranteed price is ideal for customers wishing to minimize volatility in their energy charges from month to month.

Choose a guaranteed or variable natural gas rate for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years.
Variable natural gas rate
Natural gas prices fluctuate every month as the actual market price changes.
With our Variable Rate Plan, what you pay for natural gas (per GJ) will rise or fall each month based on market activity. Your natural gas rate is based on a temperature-weighted average flow-through of the market price, which tends to rise during colder months when demand for heating increases.
The variable natural gas rate is suitable for customers who are willing to experience monthly ups and downs in their energy bills in exchange for potential savings over time.
Guaranteed natural gas rate
A guaranteed natural gas rate won’t fluctuate when the market changes. It’s a stable rate option that gives you predictability for the term of your plan. When the market fluctuates, your price per GJ remains constant.
For every GJ of natural gas you use, the Guaranteed Price is an all-in rate that your consumption will be charged on. Because the amount of natural gas you use will vary from month-to-month, your energy charge will vary, but the unit price won’t.
The guaranteed rate is ideal for customers who might not mind paying a bit more in exchange for stability in their energy every month.

You can choose to supplement your electricity plan by making it green.
Green energy comes from renewable sources like hydro, wind, and solar. The creation of electricity through these sources creates a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC), which is a means of controlling the finite inventory of electrons that were generated.
As a consumer, you can select from 25% or 100% of your electricity plan from ATCO Energy to come from renewable sources for a small premium. The green premium is charged on your consumption in kWh.
Based on your selected green percentage, your consumption is calculated to ensure you’ve been allocated the right amount of green energy and that the RECs are retired on your behalf.
