Bow Valley Power
Suite 200, 1316 – 9th Avenue SE , Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Bow Valley Power was founded in the spring of 2010. We have enjoyed excellent growth since launching, with customers in over 180 communities in Alberta. Bow Valley Power was Albertas first energy marketer to provide both traditional and EcoLogo certified green power to our customers. We have some of Albertas best electricity rates.

How are we different?

We feel strongly about providing great electricity rates, appreciating our customers, and reducing the impact our electricity has on our environment through education and action. We believe in being a good corporate citizen. Did you know that Albertas electricity is the most polluting in Canada? Or that the Green House Gas Emissions produced from electricity generation is equivalent to what is generated from oilsands?  Its these little known facts that has given Bow Valley Power a strong mandate to educate Albertans and increase the awareness of the importance of green power.  Since offering green power offsets in early 2012, our list of green power buyers has been steadily increasing – Albertans are happy to support a local Alberta business, which stands for a greener power grid.

Prudential Requirements

Bow Valley Power is required to post Prudentials with ATCO for the delivery of natural gas to each of our customers.  Bow Valley Power offers a Base Transaction Rate that include normal operating margins to cover this cost.Alternatively, consumers are given the option of a fully refundable payment contribution towards the Prudential amount to gain access to the lower Transaction Rate. 5% interest per annum is paid monthly as a credit on your invoice on all Prudential amounts posted. When the account is closed, 100% of the Prudential amount is refunded.

Simple, Easy & Affordable

 In partnership with Green Alberta Energy, Bow Valley Power is able to offer EcoLogo certified green power to homes and businesses throughout Alberta. Electricity customers have the option to add green to any of our rates, fixed or floating.  The base cost is 1.66 cents/kWh and the percentage you want to green is totally up to you. Simply select the percentage of your electricity that you want to green after you choose your power rate on the sign-up form.

How Does it Work?

The electricity grid is like one huge bath tub with two taps filling it up. One tap is green (representing green power) and the other is grey (representing conventional power). When water pours into the tub, its all mixed together, water leaving the tub is a mix of the different types of water used to fill the tub.  When you buy green, you ensure that for each cup of mixed water you remove from the tub, you are putting one cup of green water into the tub to replace what youve taken out. As more and more people buy green power, there will be more and more green power sources feeding our grid, and well rely less on conventional power sources which are much more harmful on our environment.

Why Buy Green?

Buying green encourages future development of renewable energy projects. Increasing the demand for green power means more renewable generation being built, which reduces our reliance on conventional (and much dirtier) methods of electricity generation (coal, natural gas...). This has all kinds of benefits - cleaner air, healthier people, less pollution and the list goes on.
