Case Study: Alberta Energy achieves successful power market deregulation with ARC Business Solutions

Alberta Energy opens Alberta's power market in 2001 with ARC Business Solutions

The Government of Alberta, through Alberta Energy, faced the challenge of restructuring its electricity market to introduce competition and customer choice, a process mandated by the Electric Utilities Act. This required new regulations and complex software systems to manage a deregulated market. ARC Business Solutions was engaged to help develop the regulations and implement the necessary software solutions, including their ARC Power Software for load settlement and billing.

ARC Business Solutions played a key role in defining the "Retail Access / Customer Choice" regulations and then led the implementation of software to support the new market's requirements. Their solutions, such as load settlement and tariff billing systems, helped the Alberta electricity market open successfully in 2001. The market became a model for other jurisdictions, and ARC Business Solutions continues to be a leader in the ongoing refinement of the province's power market.
