Electricity & Natural Gas Provider in Vermilion

Why Vermilion Residents Choose Get Energy

Vermilion is an eastern Alberta town of about 3,900 people, home to Lakeland College — a respected agricultural and environmental sciences institution that brings students and faculty to the community year-round.

The town sits in productive farmland between Edmonton and Lloydminster, serving as a regional centre for the surrounding County of Vermilion River. Its college-town character means a steady population of students and educators alongside long-time farming families.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vermilion Energy

Can students in Vermilion choose their energy provider?

If you're renting an apartment where you control the utility account, yes — you can choose Get Energy as your retailer. If utilities are included in your rent, your landlord makes that choice. Contact us to check your options.

Does Get Energy serve the County of Vermilion River?

Yes, Get Energy serves customers throughout the Vermilion region, including rural properties in the County of Vermilion River. Farm operations and acreages connected to FortisAlberta can benefit from our competitive rates.

What's the advantage of a fixed rate for Vermilion homeowners?

A fixed rate means your per-kWh electricity cost stays the same every month, regardless of market fluctuations. In eastern Alberta's variable climate, this provides budget certainty that the regulated rate (which changes monthly) simply can't match.

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?

No. Get Energy does not require long-term contracts and there are no cancellation fees. You're free to switch at any time.

How long does it take to switch energy providers in Vermilion?

The switch typically takes about 10 days from when you sign up. During the transition, your current provider continues to supply your energy without any interruption.
