Livestock - EQUS

THE LIVESTOCK POWER EXPERTS.

Transparency, at-cost pricing, personalised service, and investing in the future of our communities—just a few benefits of becoming an EQUS member.

FARMER'S ELECTRIFIED RURAL ALBERTA In the 1940s, when Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) declined the Alberta government's request to electrify rural areas citing high costs, Alberta farmers took initiative, forming co-operatives known as Rural Electrification Associations (REAs) to power their communities.

Fast forward to today, EQUS has emerged as Alberta's leading electricity expert and the largest member-owned utility in Canada. Prioritizing our members and their service, we focus on generating savings rather than profits for international shareholders, serving a diverse range of clients including businesses, homes, farms, subdivisions, and oil and gas developments. As a 100% Alberta-owned, rural-based electrical distribution co-operative, EQUS operates from offices in Innisfail, Claresholm, Medicine Hat, and Onoway, with our Corporate Office in Innisfail.

AT-COST PRICING

As Canada's largest member-owned utility, EQUS operates uniquely without profits or shareholders. Our members own the distribution system, ensuring it runs at-cost. We guarantee that EQUS members always pay less for their distribution, reflecting our commitment to affordability and member benefits.

PERSONALISED SERVICE EQUS stands out with its personalised approach to service. Each member is assigned a dedicated Member Service Administrator, ensuring direct and personal assistance whenever needed. Our focus is on providing safe, reliable electricity coupled with knowledgeable support, reflecting our dedication to member satisfaction.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITIES EQUS is deeply invested in the communities we serve. Our members and staff actively participate in programs that contribute funds to local initiatives, focusing on supporting rural youth and seniors, with a special emphasis on mental health and safety.

Additionally, we are proud to offer post-secondary scholarships, furthering our commitment to community development and education.
