Release Date
We have amended the Alberta Energy Regulator Rules of Practice and, as a result, released a new edition of Directive 031: REDA Energy Cost Claims.
Changes to the AER Rules of Practice include the following:
- In addition to statements of concern that may be filed by persons who believe they may be directly and adversely affected by the approval of an application, the rules now permit statements of concern to be filed by persons who wish to advocate in favour of an approval sought by an applicant, allowing them to describe both the benefits of project approval as well as any corresponding adverse impacts if the project is not approved. The statement of concern form has been modified to reflect this change.
- Hearing panels are now required to discontinue an application hearing in certain circumstances.
- The definition of “participant,” for the purposes of claiming costs for participation in hearings, has been revised.
The updated Alberta Energy Regulator Rules of Practice are available on our website and the King’s Printer website. New editions of Directive 031 and the statement of concern form are available on our website.
