Electricity & Natural Gas Provider in Pincher Creek

Why Pincher Creek Residents Choose Get Energy

Pincher Creek is a southwestern Alberta town of about 3,600 people nestled at the base of the Livingstone Range, where the prairies meet the Rocky Mountains. It's one of Alberta's windiest spots — home to some of the province's first wind farms.

With the Castle Mountain ski area nearby and Waterton Lakes National Park just down the road, Pincher Creek residents enjoy a stunning natural setting. But the area's famous Chinook winds and cold mountain weather make energy costs a year-round consideration.

Fittingly for a town surrounded by wind turbines, Pincher Creek understands energy. Get Energy offers residents competitive electricity and natural gas rates that help manage costs through every season in this beautiful corner of Alberta.
