Meta announced a $13-billion AI data center project in Sturgeon County, just northeast of Edmonton. A new report by the Pembina Institute projects that between 2027 and 2031, residential electricity bills in Alberta could rise by $267 to $462 per year (a 15% to 25% increase) due to grid pressures. For at least its first year of operation, the data center will draw power directly from the Alberta electricity grid—using almost as much power as the city of Calgary.

Golf week is on fire! 8760 was thrilled to join the 32nd Annual Spirit of Caring Golf Classic in Edmonton! We supported our client, Good Samaritan Society, in raising funds to build a new continuing care home in West Edmonton designed to provide comfortable living for nearly 1,800 residents.

Proud to have hit the greens for a great cause! Last week, surrounded by the stunning Alberta mountains, our team attended the 34th Annual Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament at the Canmore Golf & Curling Club (August 19–20). 8760 was proud to join Tim Hortons leaders in supporting the organization’s ongoing charitable efforts!

When was the last time you reviewed your commercial electricity and natural gas rates? 8760 Helps Businesses in Alberta Save on Energy Expenses “We are looking at nearly $200,000 in savings over four years in our energy consumption bills, and $12,000 annually for the life of our buildings on our distribution and transmission charges”. - The Evergreens Foundation

8760 works closely with large commercial energy clients to understand their operational requirements and build tailored procurement strategies. Even if you are currently locked into a contract, we add immediate value by planning ahead—analyzing market conditions, preparing renewal strategies, and negotiating with energy retailers at the optimal time. Whether your strategy calls for fixed, floating, or blended pricing, we help you plan with absolute confidence.

Most commercial clients focus primarily on the top portion of their energy bill—the raw commodity rates. However, significant savings opportunities are often hidden inside the regulated portion of your bill: the delivery charges. While you cannot shop for a "better delivery rate" for natural gas and electricity, these delivery charges are regulated but may not be optimized. We save millions annually for our clients through delivery charge reviews.

Great news for Albertans! The 8760 Home Energy Program is extending our lowest electricity rate of 7.08 ¢/kWh and natural gas rate of $3.78/GJ through the month of July! This is your ultimate time to lock in our lowest rates of 2026. Do not miss out on these midsummer!
