Rule 017 – ISO Rule Development
In this bulletin, the AUC announced that it approved amendments to AUC Rule 017: Procedures and Process for Development of ISO Rules and Filing of ISO Rules with the Alberta Utilities Commission (“Rule 017”). The amended Rule 017 is effective as of August 1, 2018.
The revisions to Rule 017 were required as a result of the passage of Bill 13, An Act to Secure Alberta’s Electricity Future by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and the amendments to the Electric Utilities Act (the “EUA”) in that bill. All amendments to the EUA will be in force as of August 1, 2018.
As next steps, the AUC will initiate further consultation on Rule 017 to develop Rule 017 provisions for the consultation on, and yearly application of, ISO rules that pertain to the demand curve and related elements of the capacity market.
