EQUS REA Ltd. Proceeding 25644 Service Area of EQUS REA Ltd. Application 25644-A001
EQUS REA Ltd., pursuant to Approval 22164-D05-2018,1 is the operator of the electric distribution system in the EQUS service area.
By Application 25644-A001, registered on June 4, 2020, FortisAlberta Inc. applied to the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval to alter its service area to align with recent municipal boundary changes for areas in which FortisAlberta has an exclusive franchise agreement with the municipality. As such, the service area of EQUS would be reduced to align with the altered municipal boundaries, as those limits were identified by FortisAlberta on the record of this proceeding.
The Commission, pursuant to sections 25 and 29 of the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, approved the application in Decision 25644-D01-2021,2 which altered the service area of EQUS. The Commission grants an amended approval to EQUS to operate the electric distribution system within its service area, subject to the provisions of the Hydro and Electric Energy Act and the Alberta Utilities Commission Act, any regulations made under the acts, any orders made under the acts, the Commission rules made pursuant to the Alberta Utilities Commission Act, and the following terms and conditions:
1. The electric distribution system shall be operated only within the service area herein prescribed, unless otherwise specified by order of the Commission:
(a) The service area of EQUS shall be as shown on Appendix A and as described in the proceeding.
(b) Notwithstanding Sub-clause (a), EQUS shall serve within its service area only members of EQUS.
2. Subject to the exclusive right to supply the members of EQUS, nothing in this approval shall be construed as granting to EQUS a service area exclusive of any other service area prescribed by order of the Commission.
