The listing process consists of three major components:

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 VLTrader. 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.
