Electricity & Natural Gas Provider in Peace River

Why Peace River Residents Choose Get Energy

Peace River sits at the dramatic confluence of the Peace, Smoky, and Heart Rivers in northern Alberta, serving as the regional hub for surrounding farming and resource communities. With nearly 6,900 residents, it punches above its weight as a service centre.
