In Proceeding 28989, The Alberta Utilities Commission (The Commission or AUC) approved the Alberta Electric System Operator’s (AESO) application to update its Rate Demand Opportunity Service (DOS), with reasons to follow.
In proceeding 28989, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) submits an application before the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) to update its Rate Demand Opportunity Service (DOS). With these updates, the AESO aims to make the rate technology agnostic, simpler, and easier to administer. One key issue the AESO hopes to resolve with this update is to make it easier for energy storage resources to participate in Alberta’s market; but the AESO also emphasizes that these changes will benefit all users of the DOS rate and demand transmission service (DTS).[1]
On March 28, 2024, the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) released Bulletin 2024-06 providing updates to Rule 007 that pertains to energy storage units. The blackline version of this document can be found here.
