    Integrated Roadmap

    Implementing the new market design will require a significant industry-wide effort. The pace of change will be rapid, with tight timelines for the AESO and market participants to adapt systems and processes.

    Success depends on active collaboration and support from market participants, as the AESO cannot achieve this this transition alone. Without shared effort, meeting the new market timeline will be challenging.

    The Market Transition will be carefully managed to ensure industry readiness and minimize disruption.
