The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has released updated details on its restructured energy market (REM) design and is now seeking feedback from industry stakeholders to help finalize it. Once the design is finalized, the AESO will work with industry to develop the necessary independent system operator (ISO) rules and define system requirements for implementation.
In Proceedings 29093 and 29940, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) issued its final decision on the Alberta Electric System Operator’s (AESO) application for amendments and additions to the Independent System Operator (ISO) rules, known collectively as the Interim Market Power Mitigation Rules.
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) held a design finalization session on April 10, 2025, after unexpectedly cancelling the remaining two weeks of its originally scheduled consultation process. This session followed significant design changes to the Restructured Energy Market (REM), including the removal of some previously proposed markets and revisions to others.
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has held 6 sprint sessions as part of their multi-phase engagement with industry stakeholders on the new energy market design.
