and the end date of the Direct Sales
Contract. The end date of the contract
can be blank if the contract is an
ongoing contract.
4.4
Proposed Change Number A.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 3.4.1.3 Voluntary
Restatement of Availability or
Operating Constraint for Bids
Reason for Change The incorrect terminology is being used. The rule refers to “Offers” when
it should be referring to “Bids”
Proposed Changes b)1) If this restated MW capacity is less than the day-ahead Bid MW
Capacity…
2)ii) Decrease…original Bid in order of ascending price;
c) At any time…revise a day ahead Bid has closed.
Proposed Change Number A.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To make the format of the definition consistent with other definitions.
Also, the definition is explained in the reverse order than what it should be.
Proposed Changes “Dispatch Variance” means the metered volume (MW) minus the Dispatch
volume (MW) all divided by the Dispatch volume (MW) expressed as a
percentage.
Proposed Change Number A.4 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.4 Limitation of Liability
Reason for Change To correct the reference to the regulation, and to add a word.
Proposed Changes The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the Liability Protection
Regulation (AR 42/2000), as amended or extended from time to time, and
to the extent that the Pool Rules are inconsistent with the Liability
Protection Regulation, the later shall prevail.
Proposed Change Number A.5 Proposed Rule Location Rule 3.8 Offer and Bid Default
Reason for Change To correct how default Bids are considered within the Pool.
Proposed Changes 3.8
a) An Asset which does not have a valid Standing Offer or
Bid in accordance with Rule 3.6 and for which a
Participant does not submit a daily Offer or Bid in
accordance with Rule 3.4.1.1 will be declared unavailable
for the next Trading Day and for the Forecast Scheduling
Period by the Pool Administrator. The Pool
Administrator will assign a zero price and zero
availability to Offer Assets and $1000 price and zero
availability to Bid Assets for all Settlement Periods of the
next Trading Day.
Proposed Change Number A.6 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change The definition is not representative of how it is utilized within the Power
Pool.
Proposed Changes 3.8 "Asset" means a Power Pool identifier to enable a Participant to submit
Bids, Offers, state asset characteristics that are dispatchable, and/or identify
specific settlement information.
Proposed Change Number A.7 Proposed Rule Location Schedule 2
Reason for Change Add words to help clarify.
Proposed Changes 4.5 All notices, communications, requests or other statements (collectively
"Notices") given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been properly given if delivered by hand or sent by facsimile to
the number shown opposite its signature below. Any such Notice
shall be effective on the date delivered or sent, as the case may be,
unless delivered or sent other than on a business day or after 5:00 p.m.
at the place of delivery or receipt in which case it shall be effective on
the next business day.
Proposed Change Number A.8 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change The definitions provide incorrect references.
Proposed Changes “MW capacity” means an Asset's MW capacity is defined as the highest
MW value, after accounting for any restatements to the Asset's availability
to which the Asset may be dispatched in real-time operations.
“Transmission Constraint Information” means the information about
transmission constraints, which are necessary to address transmission
capacity concerns or to provide Ancillary Services.
Proposed Change Number A.9 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To provide a reference for the definition of Uplift.
Proposed Changes “Uplift” refers to settlement calculations described in Rules 7.1.2 and 7.2.2.
Proposed Change Number A.10 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To clarify existing rules. The definition for Energy Consumption is not
specific enough, while its intended meaning is the same as Pool Purchaser
Load. Pool Purchaser Load is not used within the rules. Also, Energy
Production and Energy Consumption refer to strictly metered volumes.
Although the definitions may be technically correct, by indicating who the
energy is sold to may complicate the definition without adding any value.
Proposed Changes “Energy Production” means for all Pool Suppliers
not importing to the Power Pool through use of an external tie, the
metered MWh value for the Settlement Period representing the actual
electric energy supplied by the Pool Supplier as recorded in the Power
Pool data base.
importing to the Power Pool through use of an external tie, the electric
energy Dispatched to be transferred across that tie during the
Settlement Period and as recorded in the Dispatch Log.
"Energy Consumption" means for all Pool Purchasers,
not exporting from the Power Pool through use of an external tie, the
metered MWh value for the Settlement Period representing the actual
electric energy received by the Pool Purchaser as recorded in the Power
Pool data base.
for all Pool Purchasers exporting from the Power Pool through use of
an external tie, the electric energy Dispatched to be transferred across
that tie during the Settlement Period and as recorded in the Dispatch
Log.
SECTION B The rule changes introduced in Section B are Level I changes that only
apply to one area within the Rules.
Proposed Change Number B.1 Proposed Rule Location Schedule 3
Reason for Change In order to properly assess Prudential Requirements, and consider the
potential risk of Participants, there is a need for the Pool to be aware if a
Participant has defaulted on any of its financial obligations.
Proposed Changes 6. The Power Pool of Alberta requires Participants to report any failure on
debt covenants with other organizations or a Material Adverse Change in
their financial position within 2 Business Days of said failure or change.
Proposed Change Number B.2 Proposed Rule Location Appendix 1
Reason for Change In order to facilitate viewing the changes that have occurred in the rules, the
“Summary of Rule Changes”, which historically has been posted as a
separate document, will be included as an appendix. The appendix will be
updated after Council has approved the proposed rule changes, and will not
appear in the “proposed rule changes” with each set of changes.
Proposed Changes APPENDIX 1 – SUMMARY OF RULE CHANGES
Appendix 1 is for reference purposes only, has not been reviewed by
Council and does not affect the interpretation of these Rules.
Proposed Change Number B.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 4 Direct Sales
Reason for Change To clarify that Direct Sales must be acknowledged before HE 12 on the
Business Day prior to the Dispatch Day by the Participant who did not
submit the contract.
Proposed Changes 4.2.3 Acknowledging Direct Sales Contract Data
Before HE 12 of the Business Day prior to the Dispatch Day, the Pool
Purchaser or Eligible Direct Seller who did not submit the Direct Sales
Contract, as outlined in Rule 4.2.2, must acknowledge a Direct Sales
Contract using Software and Procedures. If the Direct Sales Contract is not
acknowledged, the contract will be considered invalid, and the Pool
Administrator will not net out the Direct Sales MW Volume for purposes of
Power Pool Settlements.
Proposed Change Number B.4 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.5.2
Reason for Change To clarify that in instances where a levy for a default by another Participant
is to be charged to Participants, Direct Sales and Forward Position Volumes
will not necessarily be included in the calculation.
Proposed Changes a) i) …The contribution shall be determined by prorating the shortfall
amount owed over the total of each of the Energy Production and
Energy Consumption imbalances between metered volumes in MWh
minus (Direct Sales MW Volumes plus Forward Position MW
Volumes) of each Participant during the affected Production Period.
Proposed Change Number B.5 Proposed Rule Location Rule 4.5 Terminating Direct Sales
Contracts
Reason for Change To clarify that either the seller or the buyer of a Direct Sales Contract may
terminate the contract.
Proposed Changes 4.2.4 Terminating Direct Sales Contracts
a) An Eligible Direct Seller or Pool Purchaser may submit,
via fax, a notice to terminate a Direct Sales Contract for
any future settlement period stating the date and Hour
Ending (HE) the contract is to be terminated. The notice
must clearly state the contract is to be terminated. The
Power Pool will use the timestamp on the facsimile to
determine what is a valid settlement period.
b) For the purposes of Power Pool Settlements…
Proposed Change Number B.6 Proposed Rule Location Schedule 1
Reason for Change To ensure that new applicants will provide Banking information with the
application. Also to enable applicants to choose whether they would like to

Energy Bulletin Board is an Internet meeting place for electricity buyers
and sellers to try to arrange sales directly with one another. Yes No
SECTION C The rule changes introduced in Section C are Level I changes that update
how the Pool Participant List is maintained. The proposed changes are a
more efficient method of maintaining the list, and also reflect more
accurately how the information is distributed.
Proposed Change Number C.1 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To define Pool Asset List.
Proposed Changes “Pool Asset List” means the list of Assets as maintained by the Pool
Administrator as contemplated by Rule 2.5.2, which identifies current
Assets.
Proposed Change Number C.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.2 Pool Participant List
Reason for Change To divide the Pool Asset List from the Pool Participant List, and to clarify
how the Lists are to be distributed.
Proposed Changes 2.5.2 Pool Participant List and Pool Asset List
2.5.2.1 The Pool Administrator will maintain a Pool Participant List. The
list will contain the following information.
a) Participant's name, mailing address, facsimile number;
b) Contact individual's name(s), phone number(s), facsimile number(s);
c) Where applicable, the Agent's name, mailing address, facsimile number;
d)Such other information as the Council may direct or that the Pool
Administrator considers appropriate.
A Participant’s name will remain on the list of Participants until the Council
directs that it be removed.
2.5.2.2 The Pool Administrator will maintain a Pool Asset List. The list
will contain all of the Assets and the Participant that possesses each Asset.
2.5.2.3 The Pool Participant List and the Pool Asset List are available on
the Power Pool of Alberta website.
2.5.2.4 Pending Pool Participant List
Proposed Change Number C.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.1.2 Participant

approval from the Pool Administrator.
Proposed Changes The Pool Administrator will forthwith upon making his decision advise the
applicant and, if the application is approved, enter that Participant's name
on the Pool Participant List and enter that Participant’s Assets on the Pool
Asset List. If the Pool Administrator is of the opinion…
Proposed Change Number C.4 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.1.2 Participant
Amendment Requirements
Reason for Change To include the Pool Asset List as an area that will be amended.
Proposed Changes
2.5.1.2 Participant Amendment Requirements
A Participant requesting an amendment to the Pool Participant
List or Pool Asset List, must satisfy the Power Pool by meeting
the following conditions:
b)
Having satisfied the foregoing requirements… conditions
permitted under these Rules. The Power Pool will advise
the applicant if the amendment is approved, and will
amend the Pool Participant List, the Pool Asset List or
any other necessary modification…
Proposed Change Number C.5 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.3 Discipline by Council,
Including Suspension or
Termination of Participation
Reason for Change To clarify that a Participant’s Assets will be deactivated when they are
suspended or terminated from participation.
Proposed Changes Immediately upon termination…Pool Administrator. The Pool
Administrator will remove the Participant's name from the Pool Participant
List and deactivate the Assets on the Pool Asset List effective the date of
termination specified in the Power Pool Administrator's notice.
Proposed Change Number C.6 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.4 Termination of
Participation by Participant
Reason for Change To clarify the Assets will no longer be activated for the Participant who is
terminating their Participation.
Proposed Changes Immediately upon receipt of such notice, … and the System Controller.
The Pool Administrator will remove the Participant's name from the Pool
Participant List and deactivate or transfer ownership of the Assets on the
Pool Asset List for that Participant effective the date of termination
specified in the Participant's notice.
Proposed Change Number C.7 Proposed Rule Location Rule 3.2 Who May Submit an
Offer or Bid
Reason for Change To clarify which Assets a Participant may submit Bids or offers for.
Proposed Changes 3.2
b) Participants may submit an Offer or Bid in respect to an Asset listed
opposite its name in the Pool Asset List but not otherwise, unless
they are representing a Participant as an Agent, approved under Rule

Proposed Change Number C.8 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.1.1 Pending Pool
Participants.
Reason for Change To change reference.
Proposed Changes Parties may be granted…List as outlined in Rule 2.5.2.4.
SECTION D The rule changes introduced in Section D are Level I changes that indicate
who may supply metered volumes to the Power Pool, and how the Pool will
deal with disputes resulting from these metered volumes. The
Transmission Administrator will no longer be the sole source for generation
and load metered volumes. By ensuring that the metered volumes are being
provided by an appropriate source, the Pool can be reasonably satisfied that
the Participant likely has an agreement in place for system access or
distribution access.
Proposed Change Number D.1 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To define Meter Data Manager.
Proposed Changes “Meter Data Manager” or “MDM” means the entity responsible for
collecting meter data, correcting and validating interval meter data, storing
historic data, and reporting meter data to appropriate parties.
Proposed Change Number D.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.4.4 Disputes
Reason for Change To include Meter Data Managers in the dispute process.
Proposed Changes e) Any disputes raised in accordance with b) or d) and relating to
electric energy volumes or metered MWh information provided to
the Power Pool by the Transmission Administrator, Meter Data
Manager, or other source as approved by the Pool Administrator
shall be communicated to therespective information source. The
respective information source may participate in the resolution of
such disputes.
Proposed Change Number D.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.3 Other Calculations and
Information Requirements
Reason for Change To clarify who may submit metered volumes, and how the Pool will treat
the data provided.
Proposed Changes Rule 7.3.3 Submitting Meter Volumes
Meter data must be provided to the Power Pool by the Transmission
Administrator, Load Settlement Agent, Meter Data Manager or other source
as approved by the Pool Administrator. Meter data is to be provided to the
Power Pool as a single meter volume per Asset for each Settlement Period.
Proposed Change Number D.4 Proposed Rule Location Rule 2.5.1 Requirements of
Becoming / Application to Become
a Participant
Reason for Change To change the requirement from ensuring that the Participant has system
access service to ensuring that the Participant’s metered information is
provided by an approved source. System Access Service is not relevant to
all Participants. It has been realized that this requirement is confusing to
some applicants, since they are unsure when this requirement applies. By
switching the requirement to look at metering, instead of the agreement, it
clarifies whom this requirement is for. Generally, if the metering is to be
provided by the appropriate source, a system access service agreement or
other satisfactory arrangement was likely reached. Furthermore, since the
settlement volumes for imports and exports are the Pool scheduled volumes
(rather than metered volumes), in this case, it is felt that it is better to ensure
that the System Access Service Agreement is in place prior to the
acceptance of these type of Assets.
Proposed Changes
d) that applicant will ensure metered volumes are provided to the Power
Pool by the Transmission Administrator, Meter Data Manager, Load
Settlement Agent and/or a source otherwise approved by the Pool
Administrator; or the applicant, if it intends to act as an Importer and/or
Exporter, has a valid System access service agreement with the
Transmission Administrator; and
Proposed Change Number D.5 Proposed Rule Location Schedule 1 – Power Pool
Application Form
Reason for Change To update the application. See Proposed Change Number D.4 for the
explanation.
Proposed Changes 6. Metering and System Access Service Requirements
The Applicant, if intending to act as an Importer and/or Exporter, represents
and warrants that it has entered into either a valid system access service
agreement with the Transmission Administrator, dated ________________,
_______ and such agreement is in full force and effect, or that it is
otherwise eligible to receive system access service in accordance with the
current tariff schedule ___________ of the Transmission Administrator
The applicant, if it intends to financially settle on metered volumes,
represents and warrants that the metered volumes will be provided to the
Power Pool of Alberta by the Transmission Administrator, Meter Data
Manager, Load Settlement Agent and/or a source otherwise approved by
the Pool Administrator.
SECTION E The rule changes introduced in Section E are mostly Level II changes that
correct and clarify the usage of terms in references for system reserves and
interchange transactions, in order to be consistent with NERC and the
Transmission Administrator.
Proposed Change Number E.1 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To add new definitions.
Proposed Changes “Ancillary Services” has the same meaning as System Support Services
defined in the Act.
“Area Control Error” means the instantaneous difference between net
actual and scheduled interchange, taking into account the effects of
frequency bias including a correction for metering error.
“Contingency Reserve” means the reserve used to recover the Area Control
Error within 15 minutes of a contingency.
“Interchange Transaction” means a transaction that crosses one or more
control area boundaries.
“Intermediary Control Area” means a control area on the scheduling path
between the Source Control Area and Sink Control Area.
“NERC” means the North American Electric Reliability Council.
“Regulating Reserve” means the amount of Spinning Reserve responsive to
automatic generation control that is available within 10 minutes.
“Spinning Reserve” means the unloaded generation that is synchronized to
the System, responds automatically through governor action to fluctuations
in System frequency, and is capable of assuming load instantaneously.
“Supplemental Reserve” means generation that is capable of being
connected to the System and loaded within 10 minutes, or load that can be
reduced within 10 minutes.
Proposed Change Number E.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To modify or remove definitions. External Transaction and Total System
Operating Reserve are no longer used within the Rules.
Proposed Changes
“Sink Control Area” means the control areain which the load is located for
an Interchange Transaction.
“Source Control Area” means the control area in which the generation is
located for an Interchange Transaction.
“Total Curtailment Required” means the level of involuntary curtailment of
demand determined by the System Controller required to maintain
Regulating Reserve when Pool Demand and Regulating Reserve cannot be
met through dispatch instructions within Bid and Offer constraints.
Proposed Change Number E.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 3.5 Interconnection
Transaction Declarations
Reason for Change To change the terminology used, and to clarify that E-Tags are now
required for an Interchange Transaction.
Proposed Changes 3.5 Interchange Transaction Declarations
For Interchange Transactions, the System Controller requires E-
Tags, as per NERC policy 3, where a Participant must declare the
Source Control Area, Sink Control Area and any intermediary
control areas and transmission providers for each Interchange
Transaction. This allows the System Controller to verify all paths
and contact entities in the event that an Interchange Transaction
change is required with outside jurisdictions.
Proposed Change Number E.4 Proposed Rule Location Rule 5.3.1 Determination of
Forecast Pool Price
Reason for Change To change the terminology used.
Proposed Changes b) $1000 when, through Offers and Bids submitted, non-price
responsive Pool Demand is forecast not to be met and
Contingency Reserves are zero.
Proposed Change Number E.5 Proposed Rule Location Rule 6.5 Involuntary Load
Curtailment
Reason for Change To change the terminology used.
Proposed Changes During system conditions when Pool Demand and Regulating Reserve
cannot be met through Dispatch instructions within Bid and Offer
constraints
Proposed Change Number E.6 Proposed Rule Location Rule 3.4.1.4 Compulsory
Restatement of Available MW or
Operating Contraint
Reason for Change To change the terminology used.
Proposed Changes d) the System Controller requests a participant to restate MW
volumes to match the actual interchange schedule for Interchange
Transactions;
Proposed Change Number E.7 Proposed Rule Location Various
Reason for Change To change the terminology used, remove unnecessary sections and change
formatting to remain consistent.
Proposed Changes Please see the attached document. Generally, the primary changes are:
“Ancillary” replaces “System Support”
“Ancillary Service” replaces “SSS”
“Regulating Reserve” replaces “Automatic Generation Control”
“RR” replaces “AGC”
“Supplemental Reserve” replaces “Non Spinning Operating Reserve” and
“Interruptible Load”
“SUP” replaces “NSR” and “IL”
“an” replaces “a” for grammatical purposes
Remove Pool Operating (“POB”) references and add the Pool Operating
Procedure (“POP”) references
Remove 10.3.2b)i)d) and 10.3.2b)ii)d), since timing requirements are
clarified in Rule 10.4.3a) (See Proposed Change Number E.8)
Remove 2nd Paragraph in Rule 10.4 b) since this is already explained in
other sections of the Rules.
Proposed Change Number E.8 Proposed Rule Location Rule 10.4.3a) Ancillary Service
Expectations
Reason for Change To clarify that the timing requirements for following an Ancillary Services
Directive is 10 minutes. This is consistent with the NERC requirements.
Proposed Changes Please see the attached document Rule 10.4.3 a).
SECTION F The rule changes introduced in Section F are Level I changes that provide
consistency between Direct Sales and Forward Positions, yet differentiating
the two products.
Proposed Change Number F.1 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To add clarify existing definitions.
Proposed Changes "Dispatch Day" means the Day in which the Direct Sales Contract or
Forward Position begins (start date).
“Forward Position” means the day ahead open energy positions in MWh
registered with the Power Pool of Alberta through Software and Procedures
by Participants or by a recognized Forward Market Operator on behalf of
Participants for a specified Settlement Period.
Proposed Change Number F.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 1.1 Definitions
Reason for Change To add new definitions.
Proposed Changes “MAP Buyer” means the entity purchasing a MAP Product from the
Balancing Pool Administrator under a Balancing Pool Power Sale
Agreement of December 2000 and any permitted assignee or transferee of
those rights.
“MAP Product” means the energy rights purchased, under a Balancing
Pool Power Sale Agreement of December 2000, by a MAP Buyer.
Proposed Change Number F.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 4. Direct Sales
Reason for Change To consider Forward Positions and the requirements for submitting
Forward Positions. This issue was first raised in a discussion paper issued
December 22 and it is still subject to consultation.
Proposed Changes 4. DIRECT SALES AND FORWARD POSITIONS
4.1 Purpose of Rule
The purpose of this Rule is to prescribe the process and conditions
by which Power Pool of Alberta will carry out net settlement of
Direct Sales and Forward Positions for eligible parties.
4.3 Forward Positions
4.3.1 Forward Position Requirements
a) For the purposes of Power Pool of Alberta settlements, the Pool
Administrator will net out the Forward Position MW Volume specified by
valid Forward Position data prior to calculating the Pool Administrator's
settlements with Pool Participants. The Pool Administrator shall carry out
settlement taking into account valid Forward Positions as set out in Rule 7.
b) Participants and Forward Market Operators must submit Forward
Position data to the Power Pool of Alberta complying with the requirements
of Rule 4.3.2.
c) A Forward Position may be registered with the Power Pool for any
Asset, provided that
i) the Forward Position is submitted by a Forward Market Operator;
or
ii) either the source Asset or the sink Asset is a metered Asset; or
iii) the Asset is being used in the direct transfer of a MAP Product by
a MAP Buyer or the transferee of a MAP Buyer.
4.3.2 Submitting Forward Position Data
4.3.2.1 Data Provided Directly from Participants
Before HE 12 of the Business Day prior to the day the Forward Position
begins, the Forward Position seller or the Pool Purchaser must submit
Forward Position data using Pool Software and Procedures. Forward
Position data shall include the following for each Settlement Period the
position is in effect:
a) the Forward Position seller; and,
b) the source Asset designated by the Forward Position seller; and,
c) the Pool Purchaser; and,
d) the sink Asset designated by the Pool Purchaser; and,
e) the Forward Position MW Volume
f) Duration – this is the beginning date and the end date of the Forward
Position. The end date of the position can be blank if the position is an
ongoing position.
4.3.2.2 Data Provided by Forward Market Operators
The Forward Position Data is to be received by the Power Pool of Alberta
in the format agreed to within the context of the operating agreement
arranged between the Forward Market Operator and the Power Pool.
4.3.3 Acknowledging Forward Position Data
For data provided directly from Participants outlined in Rule 4.3.2.1, before
HE 12 of the Business Day prior to the Dispatch Day, the Forward Position
Seller or Pool Purchaser who did not submit the Forward Position
information must acknowledge the Forward Position using Software and
Procedures. If the Forward Position is not acknowledged, the Forward
Position will be considered invalid, and the Pool Administrator will not net
out the Forward Position MW Volume for purposes of Power Pool
Settlements.
4.3.4 Terminating Forward Positions
a) For data provided directly from Participants, the seller or buyer of a
Forward Contract may submit, via facsimile, a notice to terminate a
Forward Position for any future settlement period stating the date and
Hour Ending (HE) the position is to be terminated. The notice must
clearly state the position is to be terminated. The Power Pool will use
the timestamp on the facsimile to determine what is a valid future
settlement period. Terminating Forward Positions registered with a
Forward Market Operator must be coordinated with the Forward
Market Operator.
b) For the purposes of Power Pool Settlements, the Pool Administrator
will not net out the Forward Position MW Volume if either the
Forward Position seller or Pool Purchaser ceases to be a Participant.
SECTION G The rule changes introduced in Section G are Level I changes to how
Participants are allocated their share of the uplift charge.
Proposed Change Number G.1 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.2.2.1 Exports
Reason for Change To remove the ability of Participants with simultaneous imports and exports
to use direct sales to avoid paying uplift in the first calculation. The MW
volumes are subject to uplift in later calculations, but this removes any
question of arbitrage.
Proposed Changes a) i) If the Company is exporting less than or equal to the amount it is
importing above Pool Price then:
Import Adjustment Charge for Participants with Simultaneous
Exports and Imports = (Import Offer Price minus Pool Price)
multiplied by (Export MW Volumes)
ii) If the Company is exporting more than it is importing then they
will pay the full amount received for the Import Adjustment Uplift
in $ calculated in Rule 7.1.2.
Proposed Change Number G.2 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.1.3 Pool Supplier Assets
with Amounts Owing
Reason for Change To remove the requirement that generators owing amounts to the Pool
because of a forward position or direct sale must pay their portion of uplift.
Since all load is already charged for uplift, it is felt that this may be seen as
allocating to the same MW twice. Also, it may provide a disincentive for
Direct Sales and Forward Positions.
Proposed Changes
Proposed Change Number G.3 Proposed Rule Location Rule 7.2.2.2 Intra Alberta Pool
Purchasers and Direct Sales
Exporters
Reason for Change Please see G.2 for the reason for change.
Proposed Changes Where:
Pool Purchaser Energy Consumption Volume is the Intra Alberta
Consumption Volume of a Pool Purchaser Asset, or the Export
Direct Sales MW Volumes not considered in Rule 7.2.2.1b).
