Stakeholder Update | December 9, 2024

The AESO thanks all stakeholders for their participation the Market Tools User Group. While the announcement of the Restructured Energy Market (REM) interrupted our plans to improve our existing market interfaces, all of your excellent feedback provided participant-focused requirements that we are carrying into the tools development process in support of the REM. Once the market changes and accompanying solutions have settled, the user group will return to ensure market participants continue to have a voice in the evolution of our market tools. In the meantime, stay connected to the REM engagement and subscribe to the AESO stakeholder newsletter for the latest updates. The REM tools implementation team will be connecting with our participants during the process to present the new interfaces and support you all in updating your tools and processes.

Purpose

The purpose of this engagement is to better understand the operational needs of AESO market tool users. We will establish and work with a market tools user group* to build this understanding, improve and evolve our market tools. *For the purposes of this engagement, a “user group” is defined as the community of users of a software solution.

Scope

The scope of this engagement will be focused on all software solutions the AESO provides to support and enable market tools to market participants.
