🌞Traditional Solar Export Program
Designed for micro-generation customers who produce more energy than they consume, our solar plan ensures you receive premium credits for surplus electricity exported to the grid.
How It Works
- Seasonal Rates:
- Summer (May–Sept): Enjoy a higher premium rate (around 30 ¢/kWh) during peak solar production months.
- Winter (Oct–Apr): Switch back to a standard contracted rate when generation naturally declines.
- Flexible Switching: Choose to flip rates manually, or select the Auto-Flip Option for seamless transitions (May 1 → Summer Rate, Sept 30 → Winter Rate).
- Fair Credits: Exported energy credits are calculated using official distributor meter data, not third-party solar apps, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
- Full Compliance: We follow Alberta’s Micro-generation Regulation 27/2008 (updated March 2024, Reg. 40/2024).
👉 To enroll, simply sign up and add “solar plan” in the notes.
