The following information and links are designed to assist
with the interconnection of large industrial or oilfield load customers to ATCO
Electric's distribution system. The ATCO Electric Distribution system consists
of facilities operating at 25 kV and lower voltage.
ATCO Electric's core business is owning, operating and
maintaining the system of power lines and equipment that delivers electric
energy to customers in our service area. The company also plays a key role in
the development of Alberta’ s industrial sector – our oilfield, industrial and
commercial customers use over 80% of the total energy we deliver. Our Commercial
Services staff is focused on meeting the particular needs of this
customer group. The basic steps required for interconnection are:
-
Determine whether your project is located within ATCO
Electric's
Service
Area.
-
Review the technical requirements as detailed in the
Distribution
System Standard for the Installation of New Load, ATCO Electric's
Customer Guide to New
Extensions, Customer
Metering and Service Manual and ATCO Electric's
Terms
and Conditions.
-
Complete the online or PDF version of the Industrial/Oilfield
Application Form and mail or fax to ATCO Electric's
Commercial Services Group.
-
A Commercial Services or customer service representative
will contact you after receiving the request to confirm the details of your
application and project. Site plans are required to obtain a firm estimate
to interconnect to ATCO Electric's distribution system. ATCO Electric will
commence with the engineering design to facilitate the interconnection of
the load to the distribution system.
-
Carefully review the commercial terms offered in ATCO
Electric's proposal. If the proposal terms are acceptable and agreed upon by
the customer in writing, ATCO Electric will commence with the preparation of
an Electric
Service Agreement
and an invoice for the capital contribution (as required).
-
Upon successful execution of the Electric Service
Agreement and payment of the capital contribution, ATCO will construct the
outlined distribution facilities and interconnect the customer load.
ATCO Electric will not connect the facility, or permit the
facility to be connected to the distribution system, until the customer has
obtained a valid Electrical Permit and the customer has enrolled the site with
a licensed energy retailer.
