Decision
The AUC was satisfied that Oldman 2 has demonstrated that: (i) the sharing of records with URICA is reasonably necessary for Oldman 2 to carry out its business; and (ii) the subject records will not be used for any purpose that does not support the fair, efficient and openly competitive operation of the Alberta electricity market.
