Sedgewick · Member AccountFlagstaff County · Battle River co-op country

Quit renting your power.

Sedgewick is farm country — a tight-knit Flagstaff County town where most of the land is worked, not watched, and most of it is wired by the member-owned Battle River co-op. Solar fits that to a tee: stop paying the utility every month and start crediting your own account instead. Tier-1 LONGi panels, in-house master electricians, and net metering on Fortis or co-op lines alike.

Entry 01

Sun and space, in good supply.

Flagstaff County has the two things solar wants most: over 2,300 hours of sunshine a year — about what Edmonton gets — and wide, flat, unshaded land. Long summer days run an array late into the evening, and the cold only helps, since panels convert more efficiently the colder they run.

The entry that matters most is the bill. Rural power costs more to deliver than city power, so every kilowatt-hour your own roof makes is worth more in Sedgewick than the same panel would save in town.

Entry 02

Who holds the account.

This is the detail outside installers get wrong. Inside the Town of Sedgewick the distribution utility is FortisAlberta — not ATCO. But around here most addresses are out on the land, and those lines usually belong to Battle River Power Coop, the member-owned rural co-op that wires much of Flagstaff County. Net metering works the same on either; you just apply through whoever holds your service.

In town
FortisAlberta

Owns the poles and meter on town lots.

On the land
Battle River Coop

The member-owned co-op serving most county farms.

We confirm which one serves your exact address and file the micro-generation paperwork with the right utility — no stalled applications.

Entry 03

Made for a farm or acreage.

Ground-mount solar is some of our best work, and Flagstaff County is built for it. We angle a ground-mount for ideal production and size it to offset a shop, bins, a grain dryer or a well pump on top of the house — with room to grow as you electrify. Same panel-level monitoring and lifetime warranties as a rooftop system, and we handle the engineering and the co-op or Fortis application.

Entry 04

The figures, line by line.

Plain math: cash is $2.80 a watt on a normal build, a little more per watt on the smallest systems, and a farm ground-mount climbs from there. We quote off your last twelve months of bills, nothing invented — and a critter guard plus a lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee ride along on every job.

Entry 05

How the credits post.

Net metering is the same plain deal everywhere in the province, co-op or Fortis. They drop in a meter that spins both ways; what you send up the line comes back as a credit, one kilowatt-hour for one; and a credit you don't use sticks around a full year. So the long days of June quietly cover the short afternoons of December. The buying side stays open, too — keep whatever power retailer you've already got.

Queries

Solar in Sedgewick, answered.

Inside the Town of Sedgewick your wires (distribution) utility is FortisAlberta — not ATCO. Out on the county land, where most addresses sit, the lines usually belong to Battle River Power Coop, the member-owned rural co-op. You're free to buy power from any retailer (the retail side is open), and the net-metering setup is identical either way — a two-way meter, a credit for every exported kWh under the Micro-Generation Regulation, held up to a year. We pin down which one serves your address and file with them.
Yes — it's some of our favourite work in Flagstaff County. The open farmland has the unshaded southern exposure ground-mount loves: we angle the array for ideal production, size it to offset a shop, bins, grain dryer or well pump on top of the house, and leave room to expand. Most county properties are on Battle River Power Coop lines rather than Fortis; we handle the micro-generation application with whichever owns your service, plus all the engineering, monitoring and lifetime warranties.
Most homes land on the $2.80/W cash price at 7–8 kW. Go smaller and the per-watt price ticks up — fewer panels carrying the same fixed costs — so a 5 kW is roughly $16,000–$20,000, and a farm ground-mount runs $40,000–$50,000+. Critter guards and the lifetime leak-proof roof guarantee are baked into that price, with zero-down Financeit if you'd sooner pay monthly. And since delivery costs more out on the county lines, the dollars you save per kWh are bigger here than in town.
Yes — honestly, often more than in the city. Sedgewick banks better than 2,300 hours of sun a year, right alongside Edmonton, and the long summer evenings stockpile credits that get spent come winter. A cold, clear day is a bonus, because panels are more efficient when they're chilled. And with county delivery rates sitting high, a kilowatt-hour you make at home is worth more here than the same one in the city — so the payback tends to come sooner, not later.
Yes — we cover Sedgewick and the surrounding Flagstaff County, including Killam, Lougheed, Hardisty, Daysland, Forestburg and Strome. In town it's usually a Fortis-connected rooftop install; on county farms we build ground-mounts, most often on Battle River Power Coop lines. We batch regional service trips so distance never changes your coverage, your warranties or your monitoring.

Sedgewick · Bills & Rates

Why is your Sedgewick power bill so high?

Less than half of a Sedgewick electricity bill is the power you actually used. The rest is delivery — transmission, distribution (including a fixed daily charge), rate riders and the municipal local access fee — none of which you can shop away by switching retailers. Our line-by-line breakdown shows exactly where your money goes in Sedgewick, and the honest version of what rooftop solar zeroes out (the energy charge) versus what it doesn’t (the fixed connection costs).
