The Alberta Utilities Commission (the AUC) has authority to make rules regarding Specified Penalties. Specified Penalties are penalties that are imposed by the Market Surveillance Administrator (MSA) if the MSA is satisfied that a person has contravened a reliability standard.
The AUC may prescribe the form and content of notices of specified penalties, the amounts of specified penalty (up to $100,000 per day) and the limitation periods for giving notice of specified penalties.
In consultation with market participants and interested parties, the AUC has developed AUC Rule 027 - Specified Penalties for Contravention of Reliability Standards.
