There are far more electricity providers in Alberta that offer competitive retail services than there are regulated utilities that do the same.

The number changes yearly as new electricity retailers form and existing ones split or merge. At the moment, there are roughly 40 energy providers operating within the province. Below is an abbreviated list of electricity suppliers in Alberta.

AltaGas is a natural gas and electricity company in Calgary that has been providing retail services in Alberta for more than 20 years, and longer in its previous incarnation as Alberta and Southern Gas Company.

The combined generation capacity of these stations is approximately 3,600 megawatts, of which ATCO Power owns about 2,300 megawatts (64%).

ATCO Energy is the retail arm of the ATCO group of companies. ATCO had exited the retail energy market roughly a decade ago while Canada was completing the process of deregulating the country’s electricity market.

ATCO’s reentry into the retail market gives Albertans another great option to choose from for their energy needs.

Direct Energy Business Services is one of the newer natural gas and electricity companies operating in Alberta, having been founded in Toronto in 1986 (but now headquartered in Houston, Texas).
