    2024 Budget Development Process

    AESO Board Decision

    The AESO Board has approved the 2024 Business Plan and Budget Proposal. View the AESO Board Decision.

    The AESO thanks stakeholders for their interest and contributions in the 2024 BDP consultation process. We appreciate and value the time and effort you have taken to participate and share your insights.

    Purpose

    The purpose of the 2024 Budget Development Process (BDP) is to consult with stakeholders on the AESO’s areas of focus and proposed budget and forecasts for the upcoming year as per the Transmission Regulation. The 2024 BDP will be used to establish the AESO’s business plan and budget for 2024.

    The enhanced approach, piloted last year, has enabled earlier involvement and engagement with the Board, the Executive and stakeholders, framed at the strategic level, to inform corporate areas of focus for the upcoming year. The legacy budget process created challenges for our stakeholders as it set an expectation that the AESO could make substantial alterations to the budget in response to stakeholder feedback provided during the process. The revised approach was intended to address this challenge and facilitate a more meaningful exchange with stakeholders as it related to what stakeholders have told us they want increased influence over – namely the types, timing and priority of work the AESO undertakes. View 2024 Engagement Schedule for additional details.
