The 2023 Business Plan and Budget Proposal of the Alberta Electric System Operator (“AESO”) outlines the organization’s priorities and expenditures for the upcoming year. In developing this proposal, the AESO explained that stakeholders met one-on-one with a subset of AESO board and executive members to share their perspectives on what they believed the AESO should be focusing on in the near term. The AESO used these insights to inform its 2023 priorities.[1]
The AESO held its third technical session regarding participant related costs and distribution facility operator (DFO) cost flow-through on June 25, 2020. This session related to further discuss updates and revisions to its proposal on substation fractioning (the division of costs between load and supply participants connected to the distribution system) to be submitted to the Commission. Readers may recall earlier industry updates discussing previous technical sessions. The AESO’s most recent updates may be relevant for cost flow-through purposes in the event the City’s distribution system is connected to a generator in the future.
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) held multiple technical sessions regarding participant-related costs for distribution facility operators (DFOs) – or the substation fraction – and DFO cost flow-through with the ultimate objective of filing a joint proposal with stakeholders to the Commission pursuant to the AESO 2018 Independent System Operator (ISO) Tariff Compliance Filing in Proceeding 25175.
