Consultation has concluded

Application Approved

On August 6, 2024, the AESO filed an Application for Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approval of the Administrative Amendments to Section 503.3, and Section 503.20 of the ISO Rules pursuant to Section 20.6 of the Electric Utilities Act and AUC Rule 017 in proceeding 29209.

On August 8, 2024, the AUC issued Order 29209-D01-2024 approving the AESO's Application for Administrative Amendments to Section 503.3, and Section 503.20 of the ISO Rules, effective August 8, 2024.

Purpose

The AESO is proposing administrative amendments to Sections 503.3 and 503.20, which will correct internal cross-referencing errors and clarify the language of the ISO rules without changing their effect.

These administrative amendments include:

  • Correcting a reference in Section 503.3, subsection 2(2), from “subsection 2(9)” to “subsection 2(7)”;
  • Adding the word “a” to Section 503.3, subsection 2(2);
  • Correcting references in Section 503.20, subsections 3(5), 4(6), and 5(7), from “subsection 8” to “subsection 7”; and
  • Adjusting whitespace to standardize formatting throughout Sections 503.3 and 503.20.

The AESO is of the opinion that the scope of the issues identified is minimal. Therefore, the AESO is targeting completion of stakeholder consultation for the proposed amended Sections 503.3 and 503.20 by July, 2024.
