Electricity – Records
Application
BA2 Wind GP Corp. (“BA2 Wind”) applied to the AUC under s 3(3) of the Fair, Efficient and Open Competition Regulation (“FEOCR”), seeking permission to share records not available to the public between BA2 Wind, Buffalo Atlee 2 Wind LP (“BA2 Wind LP”) and URICA Energy Real Time Ltd (“URICA”). The requested order relates to the Buffalo Atlee Wind Farm 2 and related equipment, located near the hamlet of Jenner and with a total generating capability of 15.6 megawatts.
Decision
The AUC was satisfied that BA2 Wind had demonstrated that (i) the sharing of such records was reasonably necessary for BA2 Wind to carry out its business; and (ii) the shared records would not be used for any purpose that would not support the fair, efficient and openly competitive operation of the Alberta electricity market. The AUC also found that offer control figures for all entities involved are less than the offer control limit of 30 percent set out in s 5(5) of the FEOCR. On this basis and noting the support of the Market Surveillance Administrator (“MSA”), the AUC granted the application.
