Purpose 

The AESO is undertaking the development of a Climate Resiliency White Paper to raise awareness and provide stakeholders with an understanding of the importance of resiliency, the AESO’s existing and future plans to improve system resiliency (including Alberta Reliability Standards and/or ISO Rules), system planning considerations, and recommendations (best practices) for stakeholders.

The AESO’s Climate Resiliency White Paper intends to cover the following:

• The overall need to consider resiliency in the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES)
• A summary of lessons learned from extreme events, existing frameworks and best practices in other jurisdictions.
• A summary of existing and anticipated AESO’s resiliency plans and activities
• General recommendations to stakeholders, especially TFOs and GFOs, to improve the resiliency of transmission and generation assets

We will be requesting stakeholder feedback on the scope of the white paper, as well as throughout the process of developing the white paper recommendation, and, as needed into the regulatory consultation space.
