Information gathering workshop

 The CASA Electricity Project Team recognized that gaps existed in the information it needed to complete its task. One of the first decisions made by the team was to hold an information-gathering workshop from May 27 to 29, 2002 to begin assembling some of this information and identify remaining gaps. The workshop objectives were to:

  • Develop a common information base with respect to Alberta’s electricity sector within the provincial context.
  • Identify information gaps.
  • Develop a strategy/action plan to fill gaps.
