In proceeding 30141, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC or Commission) issued its decision on the application by ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd and ATCO Electric Ltd. (collectively ATCO) for a Review and Variance (R&V) of Decision 29064-D01-2025.
In proceeding 30154, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC or Commission) issued its decision on the review and variance application filed by TransAlta Corporation (TransAlta). The application sought to vary Decision 29615-D01-2025, which had addressed TransAlta’s 2024–2025 General Tariff Application (GTA) and, in particular, its requested expenditures for fire risk mitigation and transmission line rebuilds.
In proceeding 30154, TransAlta Generation Partnership (TransAlta) applies to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC or Commission) to vary Decision 29615-D01-2025 (the Decision).
In proceeding 29106, ATCO Electric and ATCO Gas (ATCO) apply for a review and variance on Decision 28300-D01-2024, in which the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) decided to reopen ATCO’s 2018-2022 performance-based regulation (PBR) to examine the reasonability of ATCO’s 2021 and 2022 rates of return.
In proceeding 28574, ENMAX Power Corporation (ENMAX) applies for a review and variance of the K-bar mechanism approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) for the third generation of performance-based regulation (PBR3). ENAMX asserts that the Commission erred in believing that the K-bar would provide ENMAX with sufficient funding and seeks the Commission to grant a review of the PBR3 K-bar. ENMAX’s case is grounded in its concern that the approved K-bar does not meet ENMAX’s needs to fund the replacement of its aging assets or to respond to the growing need to modernize the grid. Furthermore, ENMAX states that the current K-bar will force the utility to choose which benefits its customers will forgo and that it may have to put off investment into reliability drivers, externally driven projects, and grid modernization to prioritize safety on its network.[1]
In Proceeding 28244, The City of Calgary (Calgary) submits to the Alberta Utilities Commission (the Commission) a review and variance application of Decision 26616-D01-2023 which establishes the 2023 revenue requirement of ATCO Gas Distribution (ATCO). Calgary argues that ATCO’s 2022 14 percent return on equity triggers a re-calculation of ATCO’s rate base going into the third term of performance-based regulation (PBR3) which had excluded data from years 2021 and 2022.[1]
In Proceeding 27666, the Alberta Utility Commission (the Commission) issues its decision regarding the review and variance application of the Consumers’ Coalition of Alberta (CCA), arguing that their 40 percent cost claim disallowance was inconsistent, punitive, and punishing. However, the CCA did not persuade the Commission that there were errors in the initial decision. Therefore, the disallowance stands.[1]
