Apply to Become a Retailer with ENMAX Power

To ensure that Retailers operating in its Calgary settlement zone are qualified, viable business enterprises, ENMAX Power has instituted a "listing" process. For more information, contact TRAC or fill out the Retailer Application below.

  Retailer Application

• ENMAX Power's Rates and Services
• Settlement System Code
• Roles and Responsibilities Regulation (A/R 169/2003)

The listing process consists of three major components:

• Establishing the Retailer's Prudential Requirements
• Establishing mandated Computer Systems (Data Exchange protocol) 
• Executing the Terms and Conditions for Retail Access Services. (See below)

Establishing the Retailer's Prudential Requirements:
EPC's determination of the Retailer's prudential requirements is as specified in section 8 of the Distribution Tariff Regulation (A/R 162/2003) as amended from time to time. 

Retailers must prove that they are capable of meeting obligations under the Distribution Access Tariff. Audited financial statements, credit bureau reports and other financial information necessary to confirm the financial standing of your company is required. Please allow a minimum of 20 business days before commencement of site enrollment. This allows us adequate time to complete a thorough financial review.

Establishing Mandated Files with EPC
Retailers must be able to exchange mandated files with ENMAX Power via DropChute. We'll provide test scripts to prospective Retailers as a means of confirming that the standard data exchanges are possible. Note that this computer system testing will be entered into only with Retailers that have formally initiated the listing process (described above).

Executing the Retail Access Services Agreement
The final step to becoming an ENMAX Power listed Retailer is executing the Retail Access Service Agreement below to acknowledge compliance and agreement to ENMAX Power's Terms & Conditions. There is a schedule attached to the Retail Access Services Agreement. Access to ENMAX Power's information systems is conditional upon the execution of this Agreement.

Enrollment & Information Provision (EIP)
In addition to the mandated data exchanges, ENMAX Power has developed a web based computer system for Retailers to use who will have frequent service requests on behalf of end use customers. Access to this application will be available upon written request. Please contact TRAC for more information.

Technical Retail Access Centre (TRAC)
ENMAX Power maintains a support service called TRAC. This service provides a single point of contact for ALL Retailer questions with an estimated response time of 2 business days and is accessed exclusively by e-mail.

This service also provides assistance to Retailers who do not have access to EIP.
