If you’re moving into a new home or business and need electricity:
Reach out by phone, email, or through our website to open a new account.
We’ll need:
You can register for MyAccount on our website to view and manage your account anytime.
If you're moving out of a home or business:
Contact us with your move-out date and your new or forwarding address.
Include:
Try to contact us at least two weeks before your move. We need a minimum of five business days to schedule disconnections and reconnections.
Note: If you're moving to or from Faro, Champagne or Johnsons Crossing, timing depends on crew availability.
A security deposit or connection fee may be required, especially for new customers.
Take a close look at both your final and first bills to make sure everything adds up.
Make sure the charges are prorated – that means you're only paying for the electricity used between your actual move-in and move-out dates.
Fill out a Tenancy Vacancy Agreement to have power automatically switched back into your name when tenants move in or out.
If you're a contractor and need same-day electrical service disconnected or reconnected, please contact Yukon Energy’s customer service team at least five business days in advance of the required work.
You must also provide a valid electrical permit (connect authorization) that matches the address where the work is taking place.
Overtime charges may apply if the work takes place after regular business hours or on a weekend.
Call or email us at least five business days before the work is needed.
We'll need:
Let us know the specific date and time you want the power turned off.
If this work involves a new connection or changes to an existing one, email us a copy of the approved electrical permit from the Yukon Government Inspections Office at least five business days in advance of the required work. Once we receive it, we’ll verify the address and schedule the work.
Owning a seasonal or vacation property means your electricity needs are a bit different than for a year-round home. Whether you're opening up your place for the summer or shutting it down for the winter, here are some key things to know.
If you need power reconnected:
Reconnection appointments can take several weeks, especially during busy times.
Clear any snow or debris and ensure any gates or lockboxes are accessible. We must be able to reach your meter to reconnect service.
Do a quick maintenance check to make sure things like your water heater, furnace, air conditioner, and any other electric or water-using appliances are safe and working.
A standard $52.50 reconnection charge will be added to your bill.
Before shutting down your property for the winter:
This is one of the most important steps. If pipes freeze and burst, repairs can be very expensive.
This includes fridges and freezers (empty them first), TVs, air conditioners, and anything else you won't be using.
Set it low enough to save energy, but high enough to prevent freezing in cold weather.
This helps keep out cold air– and unwanted critters.
If you want a light to come on occasionally for security, consider motion-sensing lights or a timer.
When you're done for the season, you have two choices:
This stops electricity and water use, but your account remains active and you'll still get a monthly bill for non-energy charges (like service and delivery fees).
We’ll disconnect power at the meter. When you’re ready to reconnect:
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG to find out whether underground power cables are located at or near the dig site. For Yukon Energy service areas call 1-800-676-2843. In other Yukon communities, call ATCO Electric Yukon at 867-633-7000.
