In proceeding 28717, EPCOR Energy Alberta GP (EPCOR Energy) submits its 2024-2025 energy price-setting plan application to the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) for review and approval.

ENMAX Energy Corporation (ENMAX Energy) provides regulated rate option (RRO) services in ENMAX Power Corporation’s service territory. The Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) approves the RRO tariff through an energy price setting plan (EPSP) which sets the monthly RRO rate parameters. In Proceeding 27495, the Commission issues its decision regarding ENMAX Energy’s 2023-2024 EPSP. Key issues in this proceeding include ENMAX Energy’s proposals to amend its Letter of Credit (LOC) rates and how it calculates its Natural Gas Exchange (NGX) Collateral Costs, as well as the recommendations of the Utilities Consumers Advocate (UCA) to exclude the net commodity risk compensation (CRC) from ENMAX Energy’s energy return margin calculations and to limit ENMAX Energy’s monthly monitoring costs.[1]

Direct Energy proposed EPSP includes nine total changes: six to the confidential procurement protocol and three to other non-confidential provisions of the EPSP. However, after hearing intervenor arguments, Direct Energy’s EPSP is not approved by the Commission, and Direct Energy is to refile the plan after making the necessary changes.[1]

After examining the application and submitting information requests, the Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA) argues against certain aspects of ENMAX Energy’s proposal.[1]
