Capacity basis: AESO connection request (MW)

DC Intel assessment

Speculative

Why

Active AESO P3109 request (three 400 MW stages) demonstrates someone is studying a large load.

Risk

Developer and exact site are not public; no project approval, FID, customer or construction evidence. A grid request alone is weak proof.

Watch

Named developer/site plus municipal application and power study advancement.

Power strategy

Proposed Alberta-grid connection via AESO P3109.

An AESO request is not an allocation.
