Electricity plans for cost control and confidence
For businesses consuming over 250,000 kWh of electricity per year, TransAlta offers a variety of power contracts to suit your strategy. Our plans are designed to match your company’s goals and risk tolerance, helping you manage price volatility while giving you opportunities to save when market conditions are favorable.
Our electricity supply plans
With each option, you’ll benefit from our market expertise and risk management support, so you can make energy decisions with confidence.
Index (floating rate)
A 100% market-based plan where your electricity price varies with the real-time Alberta Hourly Power Pool. This provides maximum flexibility and potential savings when market prices are low. It works best for businesses comfortable with market fluctuations or those with strategies to manage hourly price risk.
Block & Index (hybrid rate)
A hybrid plan that lets you lock in a fixed price for a portion of your usage, while the rest of your power is priced at the market rate. This strategy gives you a stable cost for part of your electricity (the “block”) and allows you to benefit from low market prices on the remaining volume. It is a balanced approach that blends cost certainty with potential savings.
Load-following (fixed rate)
A fully fixed-rate plan covering 100% of your electricity consumption with built-in tolerance bands (+/-20%) for normal usage fluctuations (so small changes in your consumption will not incur penalties). You lock in one price for the contract term, achieving the highest level of budget certainty and protection from price spikes.

Renewable and sustainability solutions
To help you meet environmental goals and compliance requirements, TransAlta offers renewable and carbon-reduction products that integrate with your energy supply.
These options can be added to your electricity or gas plan (or purchased on their own) to reduce your carbon footprint in a cost-effective way, without requiring on-site projects.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
Each REC represents one megawatt-hour of electricity generated from renewable sources like wind, solar, or hydro. By purchasing RECs, you can match some or all of your power use with green energy and claim renewable electricity usage. All RECs are fully tracked and retired on your behalf, ensuring credible sustainability claims.
Emission Performance Credits (EPCs)
Emission credits from regulated programs (such as Alberta’s emissions trading system) that reward reduction of greenhouse gases. They can be used by large emitters to meet compliance targets or by any business to voluntarily offset a portion of its emissions. We can source high-quality, verified credits so you meet regulatory obligations or corporate targets with confidence.
Carbon offsets
Verified emission reduction projects (e.g., reforestation, methane capture) that allow you to offset your direct emissions by supporting external carbon reduction efforts. Measured in tonnes of CO₂, these offsets help neutralize emissions that are hard to eliminate, demonstrating your commitment to a net-zero future.
