International (EAI) would like to share and discuss market trends, risks and opportunities for

commercial and institutional electricity customers on Alberta’s path to a net zero electricity grid.

Unlike most of the provinces in Canada, Alberta’s electricity grid continues to experience unique

challenges with decarbonization and electrification. External pressures from Ottawa requiring

accelerated decarbonization to NetZero by 2035 have had impacts on reliability and costs as

witnessed by the emergency alert events in 2024 and recent blackout events in Spain and

Portugal. Upcoming regulatory changes in Alberta’s electricity market are intended to minimize

electricity price volatility and grid congestion; these changes in addition to load requirements

from large data centers are expected to impact new merchant generation investment and

wholesale market trading liquidity. Alberta’s upcoming restructured electricity market in 2027

will also allow for more distributed generation, batteries and participation by demand-side

sources to support grid adequacy and reliability.

At this seminar, senior staff at EAI will draw on decades of wholesale energy trading and

origination experience, to explain the new path chosen by Alberta to address reliability,

affordability and decarbonization by 2050. Attendees will also learn about opportunities and

risks related to renewables investment, including prioritizing energy efficiency and capital

investment to succeed in the upcoming restructured electricity market. Join us for a beverage and snack at this free seminar!
