Discount Power plans
Choose from various electricity plans with Discount Power. Here are the fixed-rate and variable-rate plans that are available through the Save On Energy marketplace:
Value Plus 12
The Value Plus 12 plan is currently the cheapest Discount Power plan available. It’s a fixed-rate electricity plan with a 12-month contract, meaning you can lock your rate in for an entire year. The plan doesn’t require a base charge, and we recommend it to customers at all usage levels.
Saver 24
The Saver 24 is a fixed-rate electricity plan with a 24-month contract, allowing you to lock in your rate for two years. This plan is a great option for all customers because, like the Value Plus 12 plan, there’s no base charge, and pricing between usage levels is relatively equal.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup
- Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
- Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
- % renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
- Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
- Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
