Purpose

Pursuant to Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 017, Procedures and Process for Development of ISO Rules and Filing of ISO Rules with the Alberta Utilities Commission, the AESO is providing notice and seeking feedback from Stakeholders on administrative amendments to Division 101 and Section 503.16 of the ISO Rules as well as to Alberta Reliability Standard FAC-008-AB-3.

On May 14, 2026, the Government of Alberta passed the Official Time Act, RSA 2000, c O-5.7 which replaced the Daylight Saving Time Act, RSA 1980, c D-4 and established Alberta Time (UTC-6) as official time in the province of Alberta, effective November 1, 2026. The AESO is proposing administrative amendments to reflect the forthcoming definition of official time.

The AESO values Stakeholder feedback and invites all interested Stakeholders to provide their comments on or before October 9, 2026. For additional information, please see the September 25, 2026 Letter of Notice.
