www.aeso.ca Welcome The AESO welcomes you to its Open House on the need to reinforce the electricity system in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville, Provost) area. www.aeso.ca Our Principles for Public Involvement in Transmission System Planning 1. Every member of the public must have an opportunity to comment on the plans. 2. The public must have an opportunity to be informed in a timely manner of the direction, plans, status of issues and decisions related to a project. 3. The experience and expertise offered through public involvement is used to improve the quality and implementation of decisions. 4. The public involvement process and the rationale for decisions are transparent. A STAKEHOLDER is Anyone who has a “stake” in the outcome of the project www.aeso.ca The AESO is: A not-for-profit statutory company, operating in the public interest. Independent of any company or person with a material interest in the electric industry. AESO Key Functions: • Operate the wholesale electric market • Plan the transmission system • Arrange access for demand and generation • Direct day-to-day operation of the transmission system www.aeso.ca Transmission System Planning at the AESO • 20-Year Transmission System Outlook – generation and load focused; high level conceptual transmission alternatives • 10-Year Transmission System Plan – roadmap for transmission development and context for Needs Identification Documents • Individual Needs Identification Documents The AESO’s Transmission System Planning Process Two main drivers of transmission planning: 1. Load growth (demand) 2. Generation development (supply) www.aeso.ca Alberta’s Generation Sources Electricity at Work (September 2009) Coal: 5,893 megawatts Gas: 4,838 megawatts A Generating plants Hydro: 869 megawatts Wind: 563 megawatts Other renewables: 264 megawatts B Transmission substation (e.g. biomass, waste heat) Total: 12,427 megawatts C Transmission line C B A D D Intertie E Solar panels F G E F Industrial customer Distribution substation G H H Distribution line J I Power meter J Run-of-river hydro power I 4 www.aeso.ca Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville, Provost) Study Area Cold Lake to Vegreville to Provost study area roughly comprised of: • County of Paintearth • M.D. of Provost • M.D. of Wainwright • Beaver County • County of Fort McMurray Vermilion River • County of Two Hills • County of Minburn Cold Lake • County of St. Paul Bonnyville St. Paul • M.D. of Bonnyville Two Hills Edmonton Vegreville Lloydminster • Flagstaff County Viking Wainwright Sedgewick Castor Provost Red Deer Cold Lake to Vegreville to Provost Study Area Calgary www.aeso.ca Overview of Need – Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville, Provost) Area The transmission system in this area lacks the capacity to support additional demand or to integrate new generation • Demand for electricity in this region is growing rapidly • Demand growth areas: • Cold Lake, Wainwright and Provost areas • Demand is expected to double over the next 10 years • Gas generation and wind interest in this area: Over 500 MW www.aeso.ca Map of Load (Demand) and Future Generation (Supply) in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville, Provost) Area R24 R20 R16 R12 R8 R4 R1W4 T74 T74 818S Winefred JEAN BAPTISTE GAMBLER 183 Fort McMurray Calling Lake Prov.
