Welcome to IPPSA

IPPSA is a forum for dialogue among Alberta's power producers and a proponent of competition in Alberta's electricity market.

From 2001 to 2011, Alberta’s open market has added 5400 MW of new supply. (Compare this to SaskPower’s entire 3500MW). That’s a 40% net increase to the province’s generation capacity. This new, competitive supply has met the fastest growing demand for power in Canada and has created a downward pressure on wholesale power prices.

From 2001 to 2011, wholesale prices have increased by less than 10%.

IPPSA provides value to its members by:

  • engaging in policy deliberations
  • promoting the benefits of the market
  • hosting its very popular annual conference
