ATCO Gas runs Edmonton's gas lines and EPCOR runs the wires; that never changes. What you can change is the retailer that bills you. Bright Fire sells natural gas at $4.39/GJ fixed (or spot + $0.85/GJ) and electricity at 9.29¢/kWh fixed, from a company based in Whitecourt, not a tower downtown.
We're bringing small-town honesty to Alberta's biggest city. Here's why Edmontonians are making the switch.
Unlike many Edmonton retailers that lock you in, all our residential electricity plans come with zero cancellation fees - fixed or variable. Try us risk-free.
Pay wholesale + just 0.85¢/kWh with no contract. Benefit when Alberta prices drop - and switch to fixed anytime if you prefer certainty.
We're based 3 hours northwest in Whitecourt - not Toronto, not Houston. Your money stays in Alberta, and 10% of our profits go to Alberta communities.
Edmonton has a deregulated energy market - you choose your retailer, and your utility company (EPCOR or ATCO) keeps delivering power and gas to your home.
Electricity in Edmonton is distributed by EPCOR Distribution. They maintain the power lines and read your meter. When you switch to Bright Fire, EPCOR continues all delivery as normal - we simply become your retailer, providing competitive rates without cancellation fees on residential electricity.
EPCOR Energy's regulated default (the Rate of Last Resort) is 12.01¢/kWh until December 31, 2026. Bright Fire's fixed rate is 9.29¢/kWh: for a typical Edmonton home using about 600 kWh a month, that is roughly $16/month (about $196/year) less on the energy-charge line. EPCOR's delivery charges stay identical whichever retailer you pick.
Currently on EPCOR's Regulated Rate? You can switch to our variable rate and likely pay less - with no contract and no cancellation fee.
