Purpose 

The objective of the Rate Design Workshop 1, taking place April 7 – 9, 2026, is to bring together the AESO, FTI Consulting, and stakeholders to share perspectives on and begin to evaluate potential rate design options. To support this work, the AESO intends to share its proposed longlist of rate design options by March 10, 2026.

We are asking stakeholders for two types of input by February 17, 2026. Further guidance on submissions is included in the Scorecard Development slide deck.

1. Feedback on the updated scorecard
   • See slide 6 of the Scorecard Development slide deck
2. A non-binding indication of whether your organization plans to submit a rate design option 
   • Stakeholders may submit up to two comprehensive rate design option(s) 
   • All submissions must meet the necessary conditions set out in the Scorecard Development slide deck and include an initial scorecard assessment
   • Once the AESO has shared its longlist of options, interested organizations will have the opportunity to reconfirm their interest or opt out of presenting
   • Opportunity for submissions will open in March
