EQUS is a Rural Electrification Association (REA) and is a distributor, a regulated rate supplier and carries out for its members any function that is required or permitted to be carried out by a retailer. EQUS is therefore subject to certain regulations. One such regulation is the Code of Conduct Regulation, which is enforced by the Alberta Utilities Commission (or Commission) or the Market Surveillance Administrator (or MSA), who are independent of EQUS. Any complaints about EQUS regarding non-compliance with the Code of Conduct Regulation may be made to the Commission or the MSA.

As an EQUS member, your bill will include charges for energy, delivery, administration and taxes. You will pay delivery charges to EQUS for delivering energy to your home or business.  Delivery charges are regulated and are the same no matter which energy marketer you choose or if you remain on the regulated rate.

Whether you choose regulated service, or purchase your energy through a competitive retailer, the delivery of electricity to your home or business remains a fully regulated service.

Members are free to purchase electricity services from a retailer of their choice. For a list of retailers, visit http://www.ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310.4822 (toll free in Alberta).
