ACT environment

Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) rules are documents that set out requirements and processes to be implemented and followed by regulated utilities that are within the jurisdiction of the AUC.

As rules are revised and updated, parties are invited to engage in consultations to make suggestions about recommended changes to improve and modernize rules that are considered by the AUC.

Previous consultations and rule-related documents are maintained in the rule-related consultations library and can be sorted by topic.

To participate in an AUC rule consultation, please visit AUC Engage.
