Earn more on your sunniest days
The 40.00¢/kWh HI rate can be useful in billing periods when you export more electricity than you import. The selected rate applies to both eligible exports and electricity purchased from the grid.

How it works
How does Solar Club® help maximize solar revenue?
Solar Club® is an electricity plan for eligible Alberta micro-generators. It lets you choose a rate that better matches whether your property is exporting more electricity to the grid or buying more electricity from it.
The current HI rate is 40.00¢/kWh and the LO rate is 5.45¢/kWh, effective November 2026.
The HI rate applies to electricity you buy too
The HI rate can be useful when your panels export more electricity than your property imports over the relevant billing period. The important part: the selected rate applies to electricity purchased from the grid as well as eligible electricity exported to it. A higher export credit also means a higher price for imported electricity.
That is why the best rate depends on your actual imports and exports, not simply whether the sun is shining. In months when you expect to buy more electricity than you export, the LO rate may be the better fit.

Switch to the LO rate when you're importing
In months when you expect to buy more electricity than you export, the 5.45¢/kWh LO rate may be the better fit.

Change rates anytime at no cost
Request your Solar Club® rate changes through My Account. You can also sign up for the optional RateSwitch™ so that switches happen automatically when it is beneficial to do so.
What could the HI rate mean for a summer month?
Here is a simple example using the current HI and LO rates. Suppose your property exports 600 kWh and imports 400 kWh over a billing period. This example compares only the electricity energy charges and export credits.
| Illustrative calculation | HI rate | LO rate |
|---|---|---|
| Rate per kWh | 40.00¢ | 5.45¢ |
| Credit for 600 kWh exported | $240.00 | $32.70 |
| Energy charge for 400 kWh imported | $160.00 | $21.80 |
| Net energy credit | $80.00 | $10.90 |
In this example, the HI rate produces $69.10 more in net energy credits than the LO rate. If imports exceed exports, the higher rate can instead increase the energy cost.
This is an illustration, not a bill estimate or guaranteed saving. Administration fees, delivery charges, taxes and other applicable charges are excluded. Your results depend on actual metered imports and exports, rate eligibility and billing terms. An energy credit does not necessarily mean your total bill is a credit.
RateSwitch™
Can Solar Club® switching be automated?
Yes. Optional RateSwitch™ uses Pre-Bill Data to switch between the Variable rate and Solar Club® HI rate when it is beneficial. You can also request your own rate changes through My Account.
