Content from 2013
To be integrated in section on AESO with more recent RS:"Keith Provost, former senior vice-president of Alberta Power Ltd. (now ATCO Power), with decades of experience in the electrical utility business, argued that instead of marketing electricity contracts for future deliveries in a regulated market, AESO has its own system that is open to manipulation and is not a free-market system. According to AESO, "The pool price is the arithmetic average of the 60 one-minute system marginal prices. Only those offers accepted generate power and receive the AESO pool price. All offers accepted to receive the same price, the pool price, not the price offered." It is this deregulated system that causes volatility in the price of electricity, keeps consumer prices high while maximizing profits to generating companies.
