XOOM Energy

What's not in a XOOM energy charge

In Alberta, the energy charge is only part of your bill. You'll also pay regulated charges set by other parties, whichever retailer you choose:

Transmission charges, set by AESO (Alberta Electric System Operator).

Distribution charges, set by your wires utility (ATCO, EPCOR, FortisAlberta or ENMAX).

Riders — small monthly rate adjustments that vary by utility.

5% GST, applied to the whole bill.

When you compare XOOM against the RRO or another retailer, compare the full bill at your real usage level, not just the headline energy charge.

Selectra energy expert explains

How to weigh a XOOM SureLock plan against the Alberta RRO

A SureLock contract does one thing well: it removes the month-to-month surprise of Alberta's Regulated Rate Option, where the energy charge is reset every month and can swing sharply through a cold winter. Locking 12, 24 or 36 months trades that volatility for a flat, known energy charge. What it does not guarantee is the lowest possible cost: if the RRO falls below your locked rate, you'll pay more than a customer who stayed floating.

Longer terms usually cost more per unit, not less

It's normal for a 36-month fixed rate to be quoted higher than a 12-month one. The retailer takes on more price risk over three years, so it charges a premium. Treat the longer SureLock as insurance against another 2022-style spike, not as the cheapest line on the page.

Ask three questions before you sign

What's the exact energy charge the quote locks, in ¢/kWh and $/GJ?

Is there an early-exit fee, and how does the contract renew at term end?

Is there a monthly administration fee on top of the energy charge?

Bottom line

A XOOM SureLock plan suits Alberta households who value price certainty and want both fuels under one retailer. Because the rate is quoted at sign-up rather than published, get the number in writing, compare it against the current RRO at your real usage, and read the renewal clause before committing.
