The Commission released its final report on the distribution system inquiry addressing the complexity surrounding the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into Alberta’s electric distribution system. DERs are defined as any technology connected to the distribution grid that affects the supply, demand, or storage of electricity.
On March 5, 2020 the Commission provided a ruling and closure letter on AltaLink’s request for a generic proceeding into distribution planning criteria.
Preliminary submissions on the generic proceeding on distribution planning criteria were posted to the AUC website on January 17, 2020.
AltaLink Management Ltd. (AltaLink) has applied to the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) requesting for the initiation of a generic proceeding to review distribution system planning criteria. In Proceeding 25188, the Commission will review the submission by AltaLink as well as any registered participants and decide on whether it is necessary to hold such an inquiry[1].
