Description

Electricity customers in Alberta are increasingly looking for more choices with respect to the source of their electricity. Advancements in small generation technologies are providing customers with feasible options for generating their own environmentally friendly electricity. These options include generation of electricity from solar photovoltaics, small scale hydro and wind, biomass, biogas, and fuel cells. There is currently no policy or regulation specific to microgeneration in Alberta. A robust microgeneration policy is designed to support customer choice. It will provide guidance for the development of an efficient and sustainable microgeneration market for Alberta. This paper contains foundation principles, recommendations and supporting rationale for a sustainable microgeneration policy. Stakeholders will be asked to the provide comments on this paper prior to the finalization of microgeneration policy.

Description

This policy paper contains foundation principles, recommendations and supporting rationale for a sustainable transmission development policy for Alberta. Transmission is by nature a long-term investment. This policy must therefore be forward looking and sustainable. Transmission policy must ensure that Albertans continue to receive safe, reliable, and efficient electric service wherever they live and work in the province. A robust transmission system will provide the underlying foundation for continued economic growth throughout the province and development of Alberta's vast resource base.
