Electricity & Natural Gas Provider in High Prairie

Why High Prairie Residents Choose Get Energy

High Prairie is a northern Alberta town of about 2,600 people situated near the south shore of Lesser Slave Lake. It serves as a regional hub for the surrounding Big Lakes County and Indigenous communities, with the Golden Walleye Classic fishing tournament bringing visitors each summer.

Northern Alberta's long winters mean High Prairie residents spend heavily on heating. The difference between a competitive fixed rate and the fluctuating regulated rate can amount to substantial savings over a heating season.
