What ENMAX customers should know
- check_circleSwitch to a Solar Club retailer (ATCOenergy, Encor) to earn 25-30¢/kWh on summer daytime export — the fastest residential solar payback in Canada.
- check_circleAlberta Micro-Generation Regulation caps behind-the-meter at 5 MW (residential rarely approaches).
- check_circleNo provincial residential solar rebate — the economics are driven entirely by Solar Club retailer competition.
How solar changes the math on a ENMAX bill
At 17.8¢/kWh blended, every kWh you self-generate with solar avoids that cost. A right-sized system for a 650-kWh/month ENMAX customer saves roughly $1,500–$2,000/year. Payback lands at 6–9 years, depending on your specific roof and whether you take available provincial rebates.
Net metering treatment: 11.00¢/kWh export credit. Credits typically roll over 12 months and expire — size your system to annual consumption to avoid lost credits.
