    Deadline | RFP Blackstart Services NW Alberta

    Purpose

    The AESO has launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for Blackstart Services in NW Alberta. 

    In the unlikely event of a system-wide blackout, Blackstart services are used to re-energize the transmission system and provide start-up power to generators who cannot self-start. Generators that provide Blackstart services in specific areas of the province must be able to restart their generation facility with no outside source of power. Any interested party that can provide Blackstart Services in the NW Planning Region by June 30, 2027 is invited to review the requirements and consider participating.
