If you're thinking about switching your energy provider or are moving to a new home, we want to make it easy for you to choose your next natural gas and electricity solution.
Direct Energy Regulated Services (DERS) is one of the energy solutions for homes and businesses in most areas of Alberta. We are a regulated energy retailer, providing fairly-priced natural gas and electricity to homeowners and businesses across the province. The word “regulated” means that our service and rates are regulated by the Alberta Utilities Commission or AUC. The AUC is a government agency responsible for ensuring that Alberta's utility retail services and delivery takes place in a manner that is fair, responsible, and in the public interest.
When you choose a regulated service provider like DERS, where you live matters because regulated energy retailers like us can provide gas or electricity service only in certain areas of Alberta.
