Alberta ’s peak demand has traditionally been in the winter.

Air conditioning is growing in popularity among homebuyers.

Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) says there is enough supply to manage the grid through the summer .

Realtor Lauren K. Hunt says air conditioning is becoming an attractive bonus feature for a home on the Alberta market.

An estimated 40,000 residential consumers use MacDonald ’s website every month to compare and find the lowest residential electricity price.

In Alberta , most long-term competitive retail contracts can be exited with no fee and 30 days ’ notice.

In peak demand periods, do you want to pay higher prices or potentially have no power? “We would all want cheap pricing all the time, but that's not always an option,” MacDonald said.
