Who We Are

UTILITYnet has always believed the utility industry can do things differently.

We started as an underdog with an ambitious idea: build a private utility network capable of creating real competition in a market dominated by large, established players. Nearly 50 years later, that willingness to challenge convention still defines who we are.

We have helped shape Alberta's competitive energy market by developing the technology, services, and infrastructure that enable independent retailers and Community Energy Marketers to compete, innovate, and grow. Along the way, ideas that once challenged the status quo have become common practice across the industry.

That includes helping move the market away from restrictive practices like cancellation fees, pioneering new opportunities for Alberta's micro-generators through the Solar Club®, and becoming the first energy retailer to bring Internet together with electricity and natural gas.

For us, innovation has never been about doing something differently just for the sake of being different. It is about asking a simple question: How can we make this better?

Better for customers. Better for independent retailers. Better for communities. And better for an energy market that should continue to evolve alongside the people it serves.

Today, UTILITYnet continues to invest in technology, new ideas and people who are willing to challenge what is possible. We remain proudly independent, entrepreneurial and willing to take risks where we see an opportunity to move the industry forward.

We were once the underdog, trying to prove there was a better way to do utilities.

Now we're focused on building what comes next.
