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 is providing new template affidavits to guide participants of a proceeding in preparing written affidavits, including identifying, adopting and correcting, as necessary, a participant’s documentary evidence.

The AUC is introducing new reclamation security guidelines for applicants for wind and solar power plants, where security is provided to hosting landowners.
These guidelines are being released to provide guidance on the AUC’s expectations for landowner-negotiated reclamation security programs that are set out as an alternative to government-held security in the Government of Alberta’s newly released Code of Practice for Solar and Wind Renewable Energy Operations.
The reclamation security guidelines apply to wind and solar power plants that receive AUC approval after January 1, 2025.
More information can be found in Bulletin 2025-06.
The AUC facilitates the Emergency Billing Relief Program (EBRP), as directed by the Government of Alberta. The EBRP ensures eligible customers receive temporary utility billing relief during mandatory wildfire evacuations.
