An update on April pricing and a look towards May. Also and update on the business, including successes and setbacks.
The past month has seen signups trending upwards, and one of my major goals for the coming month is to solidify and extend that trend. Dicussion re a proposed change to the Backend agreement is taking up more time that I’d hoped. And getting generation live is still stuck dealing with paperwork.
Pricing Update
This section is general notes on electricity and natural gas pricing in Alberta, looking back at April and forward to May.
The floating prices continue to be very low for both power and gas, and so I remain a fan of both. Fixed pricing continues to drop, and so if you want to sign up for a fixed gas prices for next winter, this might be a good time to do so.
Our pricing for May:
| Term | Electricity | Trend | Natural Gas | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floating1 | ~3.6 ¢/kWh | ~$2.55/GJ | ||
| 1 year Fixed | 7.09 ¢/kWh | $3.49/GJ | ||
| 2 year Fixed | 7.79 ¢/kWh | $3.69/GJ | ||
| 3 year Fixed | 8.39 ¢/kWh | $3.79/GJ | ||
| 5 year Fixed | 8.69 ¢/kWh | $3.89/GJ |
