Alberta (AESO)

Nothing closes in Alberta this week, and two comment windows are open: the Optimal Transmission Planning (OTP) ISO Rule to September 25, and High Complexity Round 2 of the Reliability Standards Sync Up Project to October 9. One adequacy consultation has left the open list.

Corrected November 5, 2026. The first version of this edition named October 1 as the next dated step and missed both open windows. This version lists them.

What moved

The consultation on ID amendment 2012-006r, covering adequacy, supply shortfall, and energy emergency alerts, is no longer on the open list. It was open as of last week's bulletin.

Feedback on Milestone 3 Round 2 of the Reliability Standards Sync Up Project closed on September 11.

Coming up

September 25, 2026. Feedback closes on the Optimal Transmission Planning (OTP) ISO Rule.

October 1, 2026. The service term commences for Market-Based Fast Frequency Response.

October 8, 2026. The Reliability Standards Discussion Group holds its October 8 session.

October 9, 2026. Feedback closes on High Complexity Round 2 of the Reliability Standards Sync Up Project. That window opened September 11.

The October 1 and October 8 dates are scheduled steps, not comment windows.

The wide view

Alberta still has 45 items open and tracked, among them Locational Marginal Pricing, the ISO Tariff Redesign Regulatory Consultation, the 2027 Budget Development Process, the proposed amended definition of "inflexible block" in the ISO Rules, and the 2026 Long-Term Outlook Plan, with 40 more behind them.

Dates and documents are the source's own; this edition adds sequencing, not interpretation. Want the same coverage across several markets, with the weekly written edition? That is the Pro tier.
