Bullfrog Power is a Canadian electricity retailer (remarketer) operating in the provinces of Alberta and Ontario. Bullfrog offers its customers clean, green, carbon-free power from renewable energy sources, such as wind and low-impact water power. Every generator has been certified to meet or exceed the federal government's Environmental Choice Program EcoLogo standard for renewable electricity.

In Ontario, Bullfrog's power is a mix of 20% wind and 80% hydro, representing 0.0003% of the electricity generated in the province, [cite web|url=http://www.thestar.com/sciencetech/article/429893|title=Tiny Bullfrog Power Making a Mark|author=Gorrie, Peter|accessdate=2008-09-28|date=2008-05-26|publisher=The Star] where almost three-quarters of the grid's power comes from nuclear and coal-burning generators.

In Alberta, Bullfrog's power is from 100% wind powered facilities within Alberta. In contrast, over 90% of the power supplied to the grid comes from coal-fired plants and natural gas co-generation facilities.
