Electricity – Markets
Application
Northstone Power Corporation (“Northstone”) 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 18.7-megawatt Elmworth Generation Station. Northstone applied to share records between Northstone and URICA Energy Real Time Ltd.
Decision
The AUC was satisfied that Northstone demonstrated that: (i) the sharing of records was reasonably necessary for Northstone 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.
