Enmax - lock in for 5 years...

[habernac]

at 7 cents per kilowatt hour. Good deal? Am I right in thinking it's not going down anytime soon?

No, it isn't going down anytime soon.
If you sign up with easymax, you get the 7 cents for 5 years (i think), or if you are a single site electricity customer (no gas, usually appt or condo), it's locked in for 5 years.
You can switch anytime, so if the price goes down 3 years from, you can switch then.
It's a good deal.

This was the kicker for me. No brainer.

Very timely thread... we just moved into our first home last month, and just this morning I was thinking about locking in at the 7 cent rate

A related question -- I currently have my natural gas through Direct Energy. Is there any benefits to switching this over to Enmax as well? It looks like I can get the 7 cent rate regardless, but if there is some kind of discount for getting both, I'd be interested

It's the Easymax program. You get $100 a year if you get both gas and electricity through Enmax.

Thanks... I guess I'm supposed to read the fine print I just thought that was some kind of marketing ploy (showing that you'd save $100 based on Enmax rates) -- I didn't realize they would actually pay you $100 each year Looks like it's time to switch!

Easymax definitely worth it. I usually save my money then apply the credit to when the bill is the Highest which is during the winter months.

i was on epcor but it was like 8.18 cents so i switched last weekend.

what will i do with the savings?

If you only get Electricity (Single Site) then you don't get the $100 / year savings.
