Our Hometown

Whitecourt's Own
Energy Company

Bright Fire Energy was born right here in Whitecourt. We're your neighbours - and we're building an energy company that gives back to the community we call home.

Born & Based in Whitecourt

Bright Fire Energy was founded in Whitecourt in 2018 because we believed our town deserved an energy provider that actually cared about the community. Not a call centre in Calgary or Toronto - but real people living on the same streets, shopping at the same stores, and cheering for the same teams.

Whitecourt has always been an energy town. From forestry to oil and gas, our economy runs on hard work and natural resources. We figured: why shouldn't our electricity and gas retailer be local too?

We’re based right here in Whitecourt. When you call us, you're talking to someone who probably saw you at the Whitecourt Wolverines game last week.
