RRO Summer Spike
Nearly 40% of the two million homes, farms, and businesses in Alberta are foolishly paying too much for electricity. Are you one of these 800,000 Albertans paying too much for electricity? Do you want to curb inflation and cut your utility bills down?
A note of thanks to Dale Nally for recommending that customers get off the RRO and switch to competitive fixed rates. Visit the Utility Consumer Advocate, where you will find lower fixed prices to help you fight inflation and reduce your monthly utility bill. In our deregulated market, you have choice! That means you get to choose your retailer and the rates for your electricity; the only cost is the time it takes to call us and switch.
Sandstone Energy is one of the many companies in Alberta offering lower prices. Check out our discounted rates as low as 8 cents per kWh for seniors who want to cut their utility bills. Compare these rates to the energy prices being charged by the big regulated utilities. Give us a call at (877) 403-4059 and customercare@sandstoneenergy.ca.
Here is what others are charging:
In a press release distributed on July 6, Dale Nally, Associate Minister of Natural Gas and Electricity, said, “We are doubling the electricity rebates to help reduce the financial burden on families in Alberta dealing with the rising cost of living.” This is great news! Also included in the government press release was an important note: Albertans who are still on the government RRO, wishing to protect themselves from price volatility, may also enter into a competitive fixed-rate contract.
If you want to stay with the big utilities, just call Enmax (310-2010), Epcor (310-4300), or Direct Energy (1-866-572-1293), and ask them to switch you over to their lower fixed rates. Get off the RRO, and you will save even more money than you will receive from the government rebate. They’re not going to suggest this to you – why would they? Don’t be foolish; just call them and ask for a lower fixed rate.
Or, if you’d prefer to support Alberta local retailers and save even more than you would with the regulated utilities, check out the rates offered by Energy Marketers like Sandstone Energy or other independent small regional retailers. To make it simple to find a retailer in your community, here is a list of Energy Marketers with very competitive rates.
Don’t want to be locked in to a contract? The fixed rates through Sandstone Energy are guaranteed for one to three years, but you are never “locked in” and can change or cancel your contract with just 10 days’ notice. We also do not have any penalties or exit fees if you want to cancel your agreement. Not only are the rates lower than the 14 to 15 cents per kWh you will be paying if you’re on the RRO this month, we also donate 100% of our profits to the Calgary Public Library Foundation supporting projects like the My First Bookshelf initiative (in partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library). Our mission is to enable Calgarians to have the best public library in the world by funnelling all of our profits into the Calgary Public Library Foundation - at no extra cost to you.
Use the government’s rebate to reduce your utility bill – don’t use it to simply pay the increased rates now being charged by regulated utilities.
