The Alberta Smart Grid Consortium (ASGC) aims to create consistent outcomes and learnings across the Distribution Facility Owners of Alberta. ASGC members seek to gain experience with new solutions and technologies while sharing the cost of the learned experience. Desired outcomes include standardized technology requirements, improved reliability, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
The Alberta Smart Grid Consortium (ASGC) consists of Alberta Innovates, Alberta Energy and the Alberta Distribution Facility Owners (DFOs), including ATCO, ENMAX, EPCOR, Fortis Alberta, Alberta Federation of Rural Electrification Associations (AFREA), EQUS, and the Cities of Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Red Deer.
The white paper sets out the Alberta Innovates vision for the oil sands in a net-zero economy. It outlines a strategy to divert a greater portion of bitumen production away from fuel production and use it instead to manufacture high-value products and materials.
To fill the critical gap in customer research and ensure that utilities are operating with robust data, The Strategic Counsel (TSC), on behalf of the Alberta Smart Grid Consortium conducted comprehensive customer research across the province of Alberta. The research assessed customer awareness and knowledge of grid modernization and its related concepts, as well as the motivators and barriers to grid modernization.
