Electricity

Strategic Electricity Management for Industry

Electricity consistently ranks as a top-5 Opex item for industrial companies. Despite its significant impact on profitability and competitiveness, it's frequently overlooked as a "non-core" item, leading to missed opportunities and unmanaged risks.

Is Your Electricity Strategy Truly Optimized?

Simply "working" isn't enough in today's dynamic energy landscape. Ask yourself:

• Have your power costs been benchmarked against market alternatives recently?

• How do price volatility and outages impact your financial planning and production?

• Are you prepared for the significant demand growth from data centers and its potential effect on prices and reliability?

• Have your transmission commitments been optimized?

Ignoring these questions means leaving substantial value on the table and exposing your operations to unnecessary risks.

Navigating Western Canada's Diverse Electricity Markets

Opportunities and Risks are highly dependent on local factors, and Western Canada is no exception. We provide the expertise to navigate these distinct markets:

Alberta: Dynamic & Deregulated

• A largely deregulated market offers diverse solution options.

• Rapidly changing generation mix and significant regulatory shifts from 2026 create both complexity and opportunity.

• This market demands an active, responsive strategy for power supply.

British Columbia: Regulated & Green

• Highly regulated with a near-monopolistic supply of low-carbon hydropower from BC Hydro.

• Significant incentive structures enable attractive behind-the-fence solutions that not only lower energy costs but also reduce exposure to carbon pricing.

Saskatchewan: Evolving & Niche Opportunities

• A vertically integrated, regulated market dominated by SaskPower, with a heavy reliance on fossil fuels.

• Economically highly attractive niche opportunities exist, particularly for behind-the-fence generation projects.
