Spruce Grove Electricity and Natural Gas Providers
If you’re living in Spruce Grove, you’re living in the ninth-largest city in Alberta, home to a strong arts culture that’s supported by the Horizon Stage Performing Arts Centre, and also home to two Olympic medalists, Jennifer Heil (gold medal for freestyle skiing, 2006) and Carla MacLeod (silver medal as part of the Canada women’s national ice hockey team, 2010). There are a lot of reasons for why so many people are so happy to call Spruce Grove home, and while energy rate increases are currently making them a point of contention, even the potential for low electricity rates is a perk for Spruce Grove home and business owners.
EPCOR is the regulated electricity provider in Spruce Grove, whereas Direct Energy Regulated Services (DERS) offers natural gas services in the area. However, people living in Spruce Grove don’t need to stay with the regulated provider. Since Alberta’s energy market is deregulated, consumers can choose who’s their electricity and natural gas retailers.
Read on to learn how you can get the most out of Spruce Grove’s competitive energy providers.
How can you benefit from Spruce Grove’s lowest energy rates?
It’s easier than you might think, but the first step is in knowing your energy needs. Why? Because you can’t actually benefit from low energy rates unless the plan is one that will work for you. You don’t just need the lowest rates to benefit from energy savings. In order to benefit the most, you need the right plan, one that combines the right electricity rates with the right style of plan to match your consumption needs and patterns. When you know these first, it’s a lot easier to find the electricity rates and plan that will accommodate your needs to your highest benefit.
How do you go from knowing your energy needs to maximizing your savings?
That’s easier than you might think, too. Once you know your energy needs, you can start to compare energy providers to see who offers the best deals. Companies like energyrates.ca not only provide you with a comparison chart to see the lowest rates, but they also organize energy providers into categories based on the types of services they offer. As a result, it’s a lot easier to search among similar types of rate plans for the best deal. This also allows you to search within your demographic more easily. If you are a big business, you want to compare energy companies that cater to the needs of big businesses. If you own a small farm, your needs are going to be very different, and comparing electricity rates among the providers that offer rate plans specific to the needs of small farms will go a long way towards saving you those dollar signs.
Don’t forget the power of green energy right now
If you really want to maximize your savings, both now and in the future, don’t underestimate the power of going green. Not only is an investment in green energy an investment in lower electricity rates for the future, but it can also get you on the receiving end of some government rebates and initiatives right now. Plus, it’s an investment in Alberta’s economic future: an investment in growing the industry around renewable energy sources that could act as economic stabilizers and boosters as they start to bring more jobs into the economy.
Of course, the last way to save on electricity rates is to invest the time and effort into conserving energy at home. You can save more than you might think on your bill simply by adjusting the thermostat when you aren’t at home and by switching those LED lights off when you aren’t in the room.
