Connection Project Reporting

The AESO publishes information for all projects following the AESO Connection Process on a monthly basis. This includes information about in-progress projects with an accepted System Access Service Request (SASR), recently energized projects, and recently cancelled projects. Below you will find project data reported in an Excel Project List, a GIS map, and a new interactive Power BI dashboard.

The January 2025 Connection Project List includes Cluster 2 projects. The AESO accepted 96 projects into Cluster 2, totaling over 17 GW of supply. The January list also shows an increase in the number of “recently cancelled” projects. The majority of these are Cluster 1 projects that made informed decisions to cancel ahead of the deadline on November 29, 2024. This is expected as part of the Cluster Assessment Process, and cancellations may occur for many reasons, such as the applicants’ readiness to make the required financial commitments, or changes to project details that require further assessment. Some of these projects re-submitted applications that were accepted into Cluster 2.
