Recalculated 2012 loss factors
Loss factors are used to determine the transmission losses charges that apply to system access service under the following rates of the ISO tariff in 2012:
- Rate STS, Supply Transmission Service
- Rate XOS, Export Opportunity Service
- Rate IOS, Import Opportunity Service
- Rate DOS, Demand Opportunity Service
The AESO must recalculate loss factors and losses charges in accordance with Decisions 790-D04-2016 and 790-D06-2017 of the Alberta Utilities Commission in Proceeding 790, Complaints Regarding the ISO Transmission Loss Factor Rule and Loss Factor Methodology. The recalculated 2012 loss factors are provided here:
