Next Steps

We will engage with stakeholders on the proposed FFR+ product and procurement design to satisfy the requirements of the Direction while maintaining the sanctity of Alberta’s energy-only market.

The AESO is seeking initial written feedback from industry on

• aspects of the high-level design where additional information may be required, or which should be an area of focus at the upcoming engagement session
• alternative design approaches that may better balance the objectives set out in Section 17.1(2) of the Energy and Utilities Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 52) while satisfying the requirements of the Direction

A hybrid stakeholder engagement session will be held on July 23, 2025 to:

• discuss the proposed product and procurement design branded as FFR+
• seek input on key elements
• share alternative design approaches from industry
• outline the AESO’s intent to include a process with the Alberta Utilities Commission to guide the procurement and product design

Please complete your registration by 4:00 p.m. MT on Friday, July 4.
