Our Company

We focus on your power 24/7 so you never have to

We deliver safe and reliable electricity service to more than 60 per cent of Alberta’s total electricity distribution network. That’s electricity to almost 600,000 residential, farm and business customers like you from across central and southern Alberta. We operate in 240 communities with more than 129,000 kilometres of power lines.

As an electricity provider, FortisAlberta builds, maintains and repairs the lines that keep the power on. Our team of 1,300 Albertans, which includes more than 350 field employees, are at your service today and every day, across more than 50 municipal districts and counties.

  • A centralized control centre in Airdrie where we have the ability to control devices remotely
  • Technicians equipped to perform ‘hot-line’ work to avoid disruption to your electricity service when it is safe to do so
  • Accurate billing with the ability to read meters remotely
  • Investments in your community that make a difference
  • Commitment to build new and maintain the existing critical power infrastructure
  • View and report outages, check your usage and request streetlight repairs through our mobile app
