Choosing a rate plan

Fixed

  • Available in 1, 2, 3, or 5-year terms
  • Lock in pricing to protect against changes in the market
  • Know exactly what you’ll pay for the length of your term

Variable

  • Based on Alberta's wholesale market month-to-month
  • Higher flexibility — no long-term contract
  • No exit fees

Member Vs. Non-member

Membership Benefits

Membership pays for itself quickly. For an average household using 600 kWh/month, members save ~$30/year just on energy rates, plus long-term co-op benefits.

Energy rates

New customer members pay less/kWh than non-members, adding up to real savings on every bill.

Patronage returns

ACE shares surplus earnings with members, through lower rates and potential dividends.

Co-op governance

A $25 membership share gives you a voice in the direction of ACE.

Scholarships

Members and their families are eligible to apply for ACE scholarships — $2,000 each year.

Community programs

Member donations to Green Our Community are matched by ACE, up to $25,000 annually.
