June is , and we’re proud to deliver safe, reliable and affordable power to 85 per cent of Albertans. As Alberta’s largest electricity provider, we have approximately 13,400 kilometres of transmission lines and 310 substations that connect homes, farms, businesses and industries to diverse generation resources across the province.

We operate 24/7/365 to keep the lights on, and our team is always focused on doing the right thing for each other and our customers. This includes having a comprehensive wildfire mitigation plan in place to protect the communities and customers we serve and consistently keeping our rates below 2018 levels for the last seven years.

Our Environmental Team has been out across the province delivering Nest Awareness Training!

From spotting nests to knowing what to do if they find one, our crews are learning how to check their work areas and protect local wildlife. This training is just another way we’re protecting our environment and communities.

Use the reporting tool in the AB Wildfire Status app to share the exact coordinates of the fire.

Assistance from the public plays a vital role in detecting wildfires in a timely manner. Your help makes a difference.
