Hydro Power – Markets
Application
ATCO Renewables Ltd. (“ATCO Renewables”) applied pursuant to s 3 of the Fair, Efficient and Open Competition Regulation (“FEOCR”) seeking permission to share records not available to the public regarding the 32-megawatt Old Man River Hydro Power Plant. ATCO Renewables applied to share records between ATCO Renewables and URICA Energy Real Time Ltd.
Decision
The AUC was satisfied that ATCO Renewables demonstrated that: (i) the sharing of records was reasonably necessary for ATCO Renewables to carry out its business; 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. The AUC was also satisfied that the total offer control of the parties would not exceed the offer control limit of 30 percent under s 5(5) of the FEOCR. The AUC approved the application.
