What's it to you? Together, as EPCOR and Encor, we provide you more choice in Alberta's energy market. And more choice, is always a good thing.

In Alberta, you have choice. You can pick if you pay the default price for electricity (Rate of Last Resort) or a competitive rate with a retailer like Encor.

So what's the difference?

Regulated

The regulated Rate of Last Resort is set in two-year periods and does not fluctuate on a monthly basis. This rate is reviewed and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC).

Competitive

Competitive rates can be fixed or variable and are subject to a contract.

With a competitive retailer like Encor by EPCOR, you pay a deregulated fixed or variable rate.

A fixed rate locks in the rate you pay for energy for a set amount of time. A fixed rate gives you the certainty of a stable electricity price for the term of your energy plan. While the market rises and falls, your price remains the same.

A variable rate, sometimes called floating, changes monthly with market prices. Your bill will rise and fall to reflect market changes.

Check your bill or log in to My Account. If you see “Rate of Last Resort” or “RoLR,” next to the electricity section of your bill, or near your current electricity rate in My Account, you’re on the regulated rate.
