Market Participant Comments and/or Alternative
Proposal
AESO Replies
a) New
Comment # 1: R1.1part a) is unnessary and adds
confusion. If a company developed a definition for
real-time reliability-related tasks as per part a), there
would not be a need to apply the methodlogy
developed in part b) to identify real-time reliability
related taks. EDTI recommends the removal of R1.1
a).

The AESO is proposing to implement the proposed New PER-005-AB-2.
The AESO is seeking comments from market participants with regard to the
following matters:
1. Are there any requirements contained in the proposed New PER-005-AB-2
that are not clearly articulated? If yes, please indicate the specific section of
the proposed New PER-005-AB-2, describe the concern and suggest
alternative language.
Comment #2: MR5 should pertain to “operations
support personnel” not “operating personnel”.
2. Do market participants have any concerns that the proposed New
PER-005-AB-2 is not capable of being applied in Alberta? If so, please
indicate the specific section of the proposed New PER-005-AB-2 and describe
Comment #3: EDTI recommends that reliability
standard PER-003, Operating Personnel
Credentials,be adopted in Alberta at the same time as
PER-005. The certification of operators is an important
part of any system operating training program and

the concern.
3. Do market participants disagree with any Alberta variances that are contained
in the proposed New PER-005-AB-2? If so, please indicate the specific section
of the proposed New PER-005-AB-2, describe the concern and suggest
alternative language.
b) Other
should be included in the training program developed
to comply with PER-005-AB-1. Adopting PER-003 at a
later date than PER-005 may lead to TFO’s being
forced to re-develop their training programs to
encorporate ongoing requirements of operating
credentials once PER-003 is approved in Alberta.
