installing a new service?

Becoming a Drayton Valley REA Member

 As a potential new member, your property must be within the geographical region that has been identified as Drayton Valley REA. 

Contact FortisAlberta

 Contact Fortis Alberta (Toll-free: 1-855-333-9473) and advise them you are in the Drayton Valley REA and  want the power to a property. You will need the legal land description of the property. 

FortisAlberta Verification

The Fortis Database will identify based on the legal land description that the land is in an REA service area. Fortis sends a confirmation form to the REA secretary. The secretary will contact you to answer a couple of questions. After this process, Fortis will issue you a formal quote. 

FortisAlberta Quote

Fortis will provide a quote to you and it will include the REA contact information. You cannot proceed until you contact the REA and fill out the required paperwork. 

Contact the REA

Contact the REA Secretary with your request for new service. The quote you receive from Fortis has a signature page which requires the REA Secretary’s signature. 

REA Member Contract

You will be required to sign the Drayton Valley REA contract and pay a one-time membership fee of $25, a one-time hook up fee of $60 and a title fee of $20 (waived if member provides). All owners listed on title are required to sign the contract. 

Send Quote to FortisAlberta

Send the quote with the signed signature page back to FortisAlberta to arrange installation. You may have already been contacted by FortisAlberta during this process to talk about installation and possibly have a visual assessment of the property. 

Contact your Retailer

Once the installation is complete, it’s time to choose a retailer. The Utilities Consumer Advocate has a comprehensive listing at www.ucahelps.alberta.ca The services of an Electrician are required to provide the permit that the Retailer requires to install the power meter. Fortis looks after maintenance and auto meter reading and forwards this information to your Retailer who manages the billing process.

Moved to an existing service?

Contact your Retailer

 When you call to set up your energy arrangements, inquire if you are on a site owned by the Drayton Valley REA.  If the answer is YES and you are the new property owner, you will need to arrange a time to sign a Membership Contract with the Drayton Valley REA. 

Contact the REA

 You will be required to sign a Drayton Valley REA Membership Contract and pay a one-time land title fee of $20 (fee waived if you provide a copy of your land title).  All individuals shown on the land title are required to sign the Drayton Valley REA Membership Contract (as required by the Alberta Rural Utilities Act).
