Ridge Utilities Ltd.

Running a business is complicated enough. Your energy plan doesn’t have to be.

Alberta businesses can choose how they purchase electricity and natural gas, including competitive plans with fixed or variable pricing. The Utilities Consumer Advocate also recommends looking beyond the headline energy rate at administration fees, distribution charges and other costs when comparing plans.

At Ridge Utilities, we believe businesses should have options.

Choose the approach that fits your operation whether your priority is price certainty, flexibility or simply having electricity and natural gas with one provider.

Ridge currently offers business customers fixed and variable electricity options as well as natural-gas plans.

And there’s another difference: Ridge is community-owned, with profits used to support and grow communities and the region.

Power your business. Support your community.

When you farm in Alberta, predictability has value. 🌾

You can’t control the weather. You can’t control commodity markets. But you can make choices about how you buy electricity.

Ridge Utilities offers a guaranteed electricity option specifically for irrigation customers — currently 8.88¢/kWh through December 2029 with the Discount Advantage rate. It’s designed for producers who would rather know their energy price than wonder what the market will do next.

And because Ridge is community-owned, 100% of its profits are used to support and grow communities and the region.

It’s Alberta energy serving Alberta agriculture.

Alberta energy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your energy plan shouldn’t be either.

One household may value predictable monthly pricing. Another may prefer following the market. A farm or business may have completely different priorities.

That’s why Ridge Utilities offers choice.

As of August 31, Ridge’s residential variable electricity rate had a 30-day moving average of 6.81¢/kWh, including its transaction fee. For customers who prefer predictability, a one-year guaranteed residential rate is currently available from 6.93¢/kWh, subject to availability.

For context, Alberta’s default Rate of Last Resort is currently about 12¢/kWh, depending on service area, and remains in place through December 31, 2026. Rates quoted here are energy charges; delivery, administration and other applicable charges are separate.

The point isn’t that one option is right for everyone. The point is that Albertans have a choice.

And with Ridge, you’re choosing a community-owned Alberta utility that reinvests profits into the communities where its customers live.

Why Pay 12¢ When You Could Pay 6.93¢? 🤔💰

Here's a question every Alberta household should be asking today: are you stuck on the Rate of Last Resort (ROLR)?

The ROLR or the provincially mandated default rate currently sits around 12.0¢/kWh for many Albertans. That's the price you pay when you don't choose a competitive retailer.

At Ridge Utilities, our 1-year fixed rate starts at just 6.93¢/kWh or nearly half the ROLR price.

And if you prefer to ride the market, our variable rate tracks wholesale prices plus a tiny 0.67¢/kWh transaction fee, with a 30-day moving average of just 3.14¢/kWh (as of June 29).

The choice couldn't be clearer:

Rate of Last Resort (ROLR) ~12.0¢/kWh
Ridge Fixed (1-Year) 6.93¢/kWh
Ridge Variable (30-Day Avg) 3.14¢/kWh

No tricks. No lock-ins. Just real savings from a utility that's owned by the community it serves.
