Markets – FEOC
Application
Wheatland Wind Project Ltd. (“Wheatland”) applied for the preferential sharing of records that are not available to the public pertaining to the electricity and ancillary services markets under s. 3 of the Fair, Efficient and Open Competition Regulation (“FEOC Regulation”) between Wheatland, Wheatland Wind Project LP, CWP Energy Inc. and URICA Energy Real Time Ltd. (“URICA”).
Decision
The AUC approved the application.
Applicable Legislation
Alberta Utilities Commission Act, SA 2007, c A-37.2 – s 39(2)(a)(vi).
Electric Utilities Act, SA 2003, c E-5.1 – s 6.
Fair, Efficient and Open Competition Regulation, Alta Reg 159/2009 – s 2, 3 and 5.
Pertinent Issues
The AUC was satisfied that Wheatland had demonstrated that (i) the sharing of records with URICA was reasonably necessary for Wheatland to comply with Independent System Operator rules; and (ii) the subject records would not be used for any purpose that did not support the fair, efficient and openly competitive operation of the Alberta electricity market, including the conduct referred to in s. 2 of the FEOC Regulation.
