Alberta is kind of different from most other provinces in that it went through the deregulation process, often referred to as re-regulation, which may be a truer picture. This is where they separated out the distribution wires of anything less than 25,000 kilovolts. Then it had the transmission wires, the high-voltage lines coming from the generators. Generators are separate entities. Then the energy portion is another competitive area where the actual kilowatts you consume are sold to you, and it is handled by a separate party. So Alberta really complicated the system.
The rural electrification associations only own the rural distribution sector of it, and really are not involved in.... Well, I guess companies prior to this re-regulation actually had to put up firewalls and totally separate all those segments if they wanted to maintain their assets. They were supposed to be separate entities and, in a lot of cases, they sold them.
As consumers, we originally developed our own distribution system and deal with that—although there is room for each individual consumer to put up his own solar power or microgeneration in those areas. Any time any individual consumer wants to get into small generation, we, as the wire owners, put in the bi-directional meters that measure how much energy is consumed as well as put back into the system. That's all balanced off on their month-end bill.
