Stories of innovative regulatory solutions for Albertans and happenings at the AUC
As part of its commitment to ensuring the lowest reasonable delivered costs of electricity to customers, the AUC explored the potential benefits of enabling time-varying rates in Alberta and if those benefits could reasonably be expected to outweigh the costs of enablement. The AUC’s assessment incorporated analysis from external experts, and it is summarized in our Report.
The Report concludes that the expected benefits of enabling time-varying rates for residential and other small consumers of electricity will outweigh the expected costs by orders of magnitude. Accordingly, the AUC wishes to move forward with the work required to broadly enable time-varying rates, as well as other demand response and demand-side management opportunities. In particular, the AUC wants to determine the most appropriate path to achieving that end in a manner that is cost-effective, timely and supportive of open competition.
A critical first step is to determine whether a centralized meter data management approach should be pursued or if the existing decentralized approach, whereby each distributor continues to verify, store and communicate meter reading data for their respective customers, should be continued.
The AUC will engage with retailers, distributors, the AESO and other interested parties to refine the cost estimates, and explore the relative merits, opportunities and challenges presented by different approaches (centralized versus decentralized) to the collection, management and access of customers’ electricity data. Please refer to the correspondence and workshop plan documents for details on the upcoming engagement sessions.
If you have not already informed the AUC of your interest in participating in this engagement, please contact Chris Robertshaw via email at chris.robertshaw@auc.ab.ca and complete the pre-engagement questionnaire by October 13, 2025.
Any questions related to this engagement may be directed Chris Robertshaw or Kristjana Kellgren at kristjana.kellgren@auc.ab.ca.
Engagement with distributors, retailers, the AESO, and other interested parties begins in September 2025.
Workshops will be held throughout October and November.
