    Incumbent Transition Payments and GUOC Refunds

    We are implementing direction from the Government of Alberta (see July 15 and October 6 letters) to allocate transition payments to Market Participants (MPs) if they are recognized as an incumbent generator or refund the paid Generating Unit Owners Contribution (GUOC) if they cancel.

    • MPs can declare that FID was met as of July 9, 2025, to be recognized as an incumbent in the allocation of transition payments; or
    • MPs that paid GUOC can declare a decision to cancel or amend their request for system access service to be eligible for a GUOC refund in 2026.

    Visit the Incumbent Transition Payments and GUOC Refunds page for more information.
