Alberta’s Capacity Market Demand Curve
Prepared for Alberta Electricity System Operator
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) commissioned The Brattle Group (Brattle) to provide analytical support for its development of a demand curve for Alberta’s capacity market. We worked together with AESO staff, and through the AESO with stakeholders in the adequacy and demand curve working group (“Working Group”), from October 2017 through June 2018, evaluating the performance of a range of potential demand curves and responding to stakeholders’ questions. This process culminated in the AESO’s selection of its proposed demand curve, which was presented in the Comprehensive Market Design (CMD) Final Proposal and will be filed with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC).
