PROGRAM
Climate change policy and market power mitigation; these are the two latest issues confronting Alberta's power industry. Climate change is the subject of dueling federal and provincial legislation, with significant impact on Alberta's supply mix, and ultimately on the market. At the same time, new and complex market power rules are being designed which will also shape the direction of the industry. Join us as we assess the impacts of these far-reaching policies and as we strive to keep competition clean!
