Cluster 2 Stage 2 Survey | Mar. 18 - Apr. 24, 2026

Purpose

We value your input and would like to request that all interested stakeholders provide feedback on Stage 2 of Cluster 2 via this Cluster Assessment Process Survey. Stakeholder engagement and dialogue over the past three years have directly informed meaningful improvements to the Cluster Assessment Process, and continued feedback remains essential to its ongoing refinement.

Based on the feedback received on Cluster 1, the AESO implemented the following actions:

Improvements to the quality and consistency of the Study Scope, Preliminary Assessment and Detailed Assessment reports.
Creation of guidelines to support Market Participants in interpreting and leveraging the Preliminary Assessment and Detailed Assessment reports.
Cost Estimate enhancements, including additional detail regarding methodology and assumptions.
Improved collaboration with transmission facility owners.
Expanded use of SharePoint Online for file sharing and delivery.

The AESO would like to thank stakeholders in advance for their ideas, thoughts, and perspectives. The survey takes approximately 10 -15 minutes to complete and will remain open until April 24. Results of the survey will be kept confidential.
