On June 19th, Fortis Alberta Inc. (Fortis) filed with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) its arguments regarding the appropriate compensation for the transfer of service-area sites and distribution assets from the Battle River Power Coop (BRPC). After the Alberta Court of appeal rejected an earlier Commission ruling, Decision 28358-D01-2024, the AUC initiated proceeding 30555 to redetermine how much Fortis should compensate BRPC under an alternative section of the relevant Hydro and Electric Energy Act (HEEA).
In proceeding 30895, ATCO Electric Ltd. (ATCO) filed a notice of dispute (Form B) with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) on June 11th, contesting the micro-generation application of a customer in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

On March 31, 2026, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) held a workshop concerning the Internal Demand Rate (IDR) revamp. Previously called the ISO tariff, the new name reflects the fact that the current tariff application changes are part of the broader Restructured energy market (REM). The goal of this workshop was to engage stakeholders and solicit feedback on potential transmission rate design features.
For context, the AESO had last asked for approval for a tariff redesign in 2021, but was rejected by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). While not set in stone, many of the features discussed in the recent workshop were heavily based on earlier AUC feedback.

(AltaLink) established a due diligence defence.

Because the parties had already negotiated and submitted a settlement agreement, the Commission’s decision addressed only the matters that were not resolved within that agreement.
