The AUC denied our previous application because our consultation process did not meet their expectations.
This gave us an opportunity to review our engagement process and look at how we can better understand and collect stakeholder input. We have also started reviewing and refreshing all the information we use to develop route options and will continue to work closely with residents, property owners, and The City of Calgary.
Before submitting an application to the AUC, we must carry out a project specific engagement program that ensures potentially affected stakeholders receive information about the project and are given an opportunity to provide feedback. The requirements for engagement programs can be found in AUC Rule 007: Facility Applications.
We follow AUC-defined criteria to identify stakeholders who may be affected by a proposed project. This helps ensure the right stakeholders are notified and consulted.
There are several ways we are engaging including:
We look closely at all feedback during planning and do our best to address concerns in a collaborative manner. We keep records and include feedback in our application to the AUC.
If we can’t resolve a concern before we send in our application, we will still include it and explain what we’ve done to address it. Our engagement doesn’t end when we file the application, we’ll stay in touch and share updates as the project moves forward.
During our most recent round of engagement, community members shared thoughtful and detailed feedback on a range of topics including:

Through summer 2026, we are continuing technical studies and evaluating route and configuration options, incorporating feedback from open houses and the online survey. Before submitting our application, we will share which routes and configurations we plan to propose to the AUC as preferred and alternate options. We expect to submit an updated application in late 2026. If the project is approved and materials are ready, construction is expected to begin in late 2027. We expect the project to be finished and in service in late 2028.
Transmission projects are funded by Albertans and show up as part of the transmission charge on your utility bill. With this in mind, costs are always an important consideration in our transmission projects.
We send our applications to the AUC when we need to build or change electrical transmission infrastructure. These applications usually include technical information, maps, feedback from stakeholders, and environmental studies.
The AUC may hold public hearings to decide if the project is in the public interest. A hearing includes written information and may also include an in-person or spoken part.
Individuals, organizations and communities can participate in the AUC’s hearing process in two ways:
More information can be found on the AUC’s website about the regulatory process, including stakeholder participation.
We value ongoing conversations with the community. If you’d like to learn more, ask questions or share feedback, we’d love to hear from you.
