The ADC Industry Forum is a one-day, invitation-only forum for Alberta's large transmission-connected industrial power consumers. It brings together industrial operators, the Alberta Electric System Operator, government representatives, and selected solution partners for practical discussion on the reforms reshaping Alberta's electricity market and what it means for industrial customers.
The program covers what is changing across market design, transmission, and policy, what those changes mean for cost and operating exposure at industrial sites, and how operators are responding through technology adoption, projects, procurement, and self-supply. The closing session turns to the policy and regulatory priorities that we need to see from government, regulators, and the AESO to protect industrial competitiveness and economic growth in Alberta.*
The Alberta Direct Connect Consumer Association (ADC) represents large transmission-connected industrial power consumers in Alberta, spanning chemicals and petrochemicals, forest products, cement and building materials, and industrial gases. These are among the province's most electricity-intensive operations, and the ones most directly exposed to transmission costs, market reform, and system access constraints.
The forum takes place on October 5, 2026, with registration opening at 8:30 am and the program beginning at 9:00 am. It concludes at 3:30 pm, followed by a networking reception until 4:30 pm. The venue is the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, 45th floor, Bankers Hall, Calgary.
*Featuring opening remarks from RJ Sigurdson, Minister of Affordability and Utilities.
Speaker list and agenda will be shared in September. For inquiries, contact Megan Gill at megan@era-advisory.ca.
