    Deregulated Electricity Markets; Distributed Generation
    Abstract
    Distributed generation projects are being developed at increasing rates in Alberta’s deregulated electricity market. Technological advancements, increased consumer applications and the entry of non-traditional developers are changing the way electricity has been conventionally valued in Alberta’s electricity market. Through a mixed method approach this research study research examines the development of distributed generation applications in Alberta. The research includes a quantitative data collection of existing projects in the province and a qualitative interview of key stakeholders to assess the opportunity and challenges for distributed generation development in Alberta. The results show that deregulation of Alberta’s electricity market has been a key driver for innovation both technologically and economically in the development of distributed generation projects. As distributed generation projects continue to penetrate the industry, the existing technical and planning requirements for Alberta’s electrical system operations will need to be revised.
