Rule 007 – Wind and Solar Projects – Alberta Environment and Parks


In this bulletin, the AUC announced minor amendments to Rule 007 to reflect certain aspects of the Roles and Responsibilities Document (summarized above). The AUC stated that the most notable change is the inclusion of wildlife referral reports prepared by AEP staff in the applications submitted by prospective wind and solar power plant proponents.

The Commission approved the amendments on March 21, 2018, with an effective date of April 2, 2018. The AUC considered the amendments to be minor and were made without stakeholder consultation.

The amended rule and a blacklined version of the rule may be found in the Rule-related consultations section of the AUC website.
