The AUC has approved amendments to Rule 027: Specified Penalties for Contravention of Reliability Standards.
For the past few updates to Rule 027, the Commission determined that the changes were administrative in nature and did not necessitate a consultative process. The same determination has been made for these amendments.
More information can be found in Bulletin 2025-10.
Alberta’s Minister of Affordability and Utilities has notified the AUC of the government’s release of its guidelines to evaluate agricultural land for renewable generation to supplement the Electric Energy Land Use and Visual Assessment Regulation (EELUVAR).
More information can be found in the letter.
The AUC has amended Rule 009: Rules on Local Intervener Costs, which is now Rules on Intervener Costs, to incorporate updates to representation, the scale of costs, and revisions to Rule 009 related forms. In addition, as discussed further in the bulletin, the Commission has made consequential amendments to Rule 001: Rules of Practice.
More information can be found in Bulletin 2025-09.
The AUC has amended Rule 022: Rules on Costs in Utility Rates Proceedings to address an updated scale of costs with respect to travel disbursements. Specifically, the AUC has increased private vehicle mileage and meal disbursements in line with the Government of Alberta’s travel and meal reimbursement and allowance rates.
The amendments to Rule 022 will apply to all rates proceedings registered on or after July 1, 2025.
More information can be found in Bulletin 2025-08.
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 the Report. A draft copy of the Report was shared with regulated distribution facility owners and the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), all of whom provided written feedback which can be accessed here and which will help inform the AUC’s work going forward.
More information can be found in Bulletin 2025-07.
The AUC facilitates the Emergency Billing Relief Program (EBRP), as directed by the Government of Alberta. This program ensures that electric and natural gas billing is temporarily paused for eligible customers impacted by mandatory wildfire evacuations. Under the EBRP, eligible utility customers will receive billing credits retroactively.
