Net Zero Solutions
How will the government's plan to increase carbon prices impact your company?
Zenith Power can provide a customized review of your corporate energy consumption, outline the financial impact to your company of the federal government’s planned 262% increase to the current $65/tonne price on carbon, and provide profitable and actionable solutions to help your company transition to a net-zero operation.
In December 2020, the Canadian Federal government announced plans to increase the price on carbon from the then-current price of $30/tonne to a price of $170/tonne in 2030 (as of 2023 the federally mandated minimum price on carbon is $65/tonne). The vast majority of companies, retail right up to large industrial, are exposed to this planned rising price on carbon through both their electricity and natural gas consumption, as well as other carbon-exposed components of their business.
Many companies implement strategies to stabilize their input, operating, and/or financing costs, but have yet to implement a strategy to manage a carbon price that is planned to rise at a compound growth rate of approximately 15% per year. Zenith Power will help your company identify and implement solutions that protect your company against this planned carbon price increase.

Have operations in Alberta and want to reduce your company's utility bills?
Zenith Power, in conjunction with its affiliate Abode Power, can support any Alberta-based energy consumers by identifying and recommending more cost-effective rate options, lowering your bill administration fees, and supporting the economic evaluation of investments in energy savings and/or on-site solar generation.
Alberta is home to Canada’s only deregulated utility market. This means that electricity and natural gas consumers in Alberta have the option to choose who they purchase their electricity and natural gas from. Contrary to what some may think, changing utility providers does not mean any change to the reliability of your electricity or natural gas supply, as the electrical wires and pipelines that transport the electricity and natural gas to your location remain the same and are paid for through separately itemized distribution charges on your utility bill.
Zenith Power, through its affiliate Abode Power, can help your business lower its utility charges by:
- Lowering your administration charges;
- Implementing a strategy pertaining to fixed and variable rate options;
- Negotiating customer-specific discounts; and,
- Increasing the value of the electricity that your business is credited for generating from an on-site solar project.
