BREAKER BRIEF
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 28 TO OCTOBER 4, 2026 | BREAKERBRIEF.COM
Alberta (AESO)
Several comment windows are open in Alberta, and the one new project is about the clock: Alberta Time Change Administrative Amendments, with comments by 2026-10-09. The next dated step on the calendar is this Tuesday, 2026-09-29, when bill impact requests close on Internal Demand Rates.
Corrected November 5, 2026. The first version of this edition called the time change the only comment window on the near calendar and named October 1 as the next dated step. Other windows were open, and a request deadline fell on September 29. This version lists them.
