    Compliance Monitoring

    The AESO's compliance monitoring role

    We establish and implement programs to monitor market participant compliance with ISO rules, Alberta Reliability Standards and the Settlement System Code rules set out in Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 021. We also interface with other agencies in Alberta to facilitate the enforcement of those requirements. We provide tools, guides and other information to help market participants adhere to these requirements.
