Building Strathcona Power — April 2026

To recap, I’m building up a boutique energy retailer (Strathcona Power), to be your local, human options for power and natural gas. This is a follow-up to March’s status update. I delayed it a little to get May’s pricing out, but life has a way of making things take even longer. 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 price 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 Retailing Progress The retailing business is growing slightly more quickly, up 18 sites to a total of 110.
