If you haven’t chosen an energy retailer in Alberta, or your previous retailer is no longer supplying your service, you may automatically receive service from the default regulated provider for your area. Default regulated providers are location-based and vary across Alberta.

In some cases, energy service may still be active at a property even though no one has formally taken over responsibility for the account. When this happens, we may use property or land title records to identify the responsible party for the energy used at the site.

As a regulated energy provider, Direct Energy Regulated Services (DERS) supplies electricity and natural gas at rates reviewed and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), and manages billing and customer service for your account.

It's quick and easy! Just transfer your existing Direct Energy service online.

First, log in to your Online Account with your username and password. Once logged in, the "Transfer service" link should be on the top navigation menu. When you click that link, you'll receive prompts to provide the following information:

  • What date would you like to stop service at your old address?
  • What date would you like to start service at your new address?
  • What is your new address?

After you click the button to confirm your transfer information, you'll see plan options and the current rates for those plans in your new service area.

If you cannot process the transfer online or don't see the "Transfer service" link or the plan option you want, call Customer Service at 1-866-374-6299 for assistance. Moving within Canada? Find helpful moving tips.

Direct Energy Regulated Services accounts are not transferred between addresses because regulated services do not operate under fixed-term contracts.

If you’re moving, you’ll need to:

  • Cancel service at your current address
  • Sign up for new service at your new location

You can complete both requests through your Online Account or by contacting Customer Care before your move date. We recommend setting up service for your new address at least one week before your move to help avoid delays or unexpected billing issues.
