Module A will explore the land impact issues identified in the Alberta government’s order-in-council, including the role of municipal governments and more specifically the following:
Module B will consider the impact the increasing growth of renewables has to both generation supply mix and electricity system reliability.
The AUC provided several options for parties to participate in the inquiry (Proceeding 28501) and could choose their preferred means to have their submissions considered.

All submissions, including completed comment matrices, are publicly available on the AUC’s eFiling System under Proceeding 28501.
