I recently compared different months of Direct Energy vs Enmax, both gas bills are variable with 2 different $/GJ charges.
Both are SFH, similar sq/ft, similar home value. One is near Deerfoot Meadows and one is in Evergreen.
Enmax Percentage /GJ Atco Percentage / GJ
Gas Used 11.22 2.94
Admin 6.54 7.22
Transaction 11.11 *
Delivery Flex 9.04 1.241150442 2.37 1.240506329
Delivery Fix 23.04 23.87
Rate Rider 10.38 1.0808 2.72 1.0808
Municipal 7.44 0.663101604 3.69 1.255102041
Carbon Levy 11.34 0.989417989 2.97 0.98989899
These are for different months so a few notes
(1) Flex Delivery Fee (ATCO), Rate Rider, and Carbon Levy are all a /GJ cost and same between Enmax and DE
(2) You pay considerably less /GJ in municipal fee and Admin fee with Enmax.
(3) With Enmax you pay a transaction fee
(4) Fixed Delivery fee is a hair lower with Enmax than DE with more GJ used.
The difference between 2 and 3, assuming they wouldnt be higher with DE with higher GJ useage would mean that DE is less expensive than.
I guess this is why its so difficult to choose a provider because nothing is known to the consumer.
