Energy deregulation is the process of opening up the energy market to competition, breaking the monopoly traditionally held by utility companies. This allows multiple energy suppliers to operate in the same market, giving consumers the power to choose their energy provider based on factors like price and renewable energy options. Deregulation can stimulate innovation and competitive pricing, potentially benefiting consumers. However, it also requires consumers to be more active in managing their energy services, and it presents new challenges for regulators in ensuring fair practices and protecting consumers. The impacts of energy deregulation can vary widely depending on the specifics of the deregulation process and the characteristics of the local market.

Consumers play a key role in shaping utility services and policies. Through their usage patterns and demand for certain services, consumers can influence what utilities offer. For example, increasing consumer demand for renewable energy and energy efficiency has led many utilities to expand their offerings in these areas. Consumers also participate in public hearings on utility rates and policies, providing valuable input that regulators consider in their decisions. Furthermore, consumers can influence utilities through their choices in deregulated energy markets, by choosing to support energy providers that align with their preferences.

A security deposit is a refundable amount that some energy providers may require to ensure payment of future bills, while a connection fee is a one-time charge to set up a new energy account or transfer an existing one.
In Alberta, if you decide to switch energy retailers, you typically do not need to contact your current provider to cancel. Once you’ve signed a contract with a new retailer, the new retailer will notify your current provider of the change on your behalf. The change in billing should be seamless from your perspective, as your current provider will simply replace your existing rate with the regulated rate until the switch to your new retailer is complete. However, before switching, it’s crucial to check your current contract’s terms to avoid any early termination fees.
