So, bump because it's time to figure this out for us.

We're on the old Easymax plan with enmax.
EasyMax: Floating Electricity
EasyMax: Floating Gas + 47¢/GJ Transaction Fee

Paying around $250 a month for a family of 2 in a ~2000sq ft place.

Looks like we use around 625KWh a month of electricity, and 6.5-7 GJ of gas.

Water is around 12m3 a month - with the other city services (garbage, drainage, sewer) it makes up $102.06 of the ~$250 bill.

the "My Energy IQ" thing says we are sort of in the middle between efficient homes and similar homes. Kind of odd - we have all LED lighting, super efficient furnance, super efficient appliances, etc.

Anyway, ATCO has been sending some pamphlets and their plan for a 3 year term with variable rates is:

Electricity: Market + $0.01/kWh
Gas: Market + $0.89/GJ
Admin : $3.50 flat per site.

Enmax is also pushing hard to switch to the new, non-easymax program. I assume that makes it a worse deal, or else they wouldnt want us to switch.

I'm finding with all of the admin and other fees it is very difficult to do any sort of flat compare. Anyone whipped up an excel chart that you could input historical rates, admin fees, and other charges with the various providers and it would tell you what the best options were at least historically?

This shouldn't be so difficult to compare :/
