Purpose

The AESO is embarking on a pivotal initiative and is committed to developing an optimally planned transmission planning framework through meaningful consultation with stakeholders. The AESO is proposing a stakeholder engagement approach that includes consultation sessions, written feedback cycles, and information sessions. The goal is to meaningfully engage with stakeholders before commencing regulatory processes in 2026, and to provide certainty for industry, by implementing the new optimally planned transmission planning framework in the 2027 Long-Term Transmission Plan (LTP). The AESO, in consultation with stakeholders, will develop a new optimally planned transmission planning framework to align with government direction.

We value your input and would like to ask all interested stakeholders to provide their feedback on the AESO's proposed stakeholder engagement approach to the Minister of Affordability & Utilities' direction to develop a new optimally planned transmission planning framework.
