Keeping you in the loop about your local energy retailer
Recently Park Power celebrated our one year anniversary of offering a better choice for consumers to pay their power bill to. It has been an exciting and challenging year but thanks to you, our wonderful customers, we have continued to grow and look forward to what the future holds for Park Power and our Community Partner program.
At Park Power we hope that it feels good to support a local company when you are paying your power bill. In case you need some more reassurance that the local choice is the better one here is a comparison of us versus the big corporate players.Our current Residential Value and Small Business rate of 7.75 cents/kWh certainly offers some savings over the larger competitors. Park Power’s Floating rate has recently been in the 4-5 cents/kWh range offering savings for those customers willing to weather the ups and downs of the electricity market.- EPCOR’s RRO rate it fluctuates up and down and the average rate since Aug 2011 is 8.93 cents/kWh.
– Direct Energy’s 3 year rate offering is currently 8.39 cents/kWh
– Enmax’s 5 year rate offering is 8.49 cents/kWh
– Just Energy’s current 4 year rate offering is 8.69 cents/kWhSome more things to note.
ENMAX, the City of Calgary owned utility, is currently running a full page ad in Edmonton offering customers “Free Electricity” for a year. But, as you know nothing is ever for free, explained in detail in previous Blog post. The consumer must sign up for both gas and electricity for five years at not-so-great rates, and is stuck with high exit fees if they leave early.
Also remember that none of these retailers share their profits with local charities but Park Power does.
