CALGARY, AB, March 16, 2026 /CNW/ -- Aurora Energy Research today announces it is joining forces with EDC Associates Ltd. ("EDC"), a specialist consultancy with deep, longstanding expertise in Alberta's power market.

The partnership strengthens Aurora's local expertise and market coverage across one of North America's most dynamic electricity markets. 

With Alberta's power market preparing for a major structural transition – including the introduction of the Restructured Energy Market (REM) in 2027 – independent, high-quality market intelligence is more critical than ever. This deal positions Aurora to deliver even more robust analysis to support investment and strategic decision-making in the province. 

By combining EDC's proven expertise in Alberta's power market with Aurora's advanced modelling, forecasting, and global analytics platform, Aurora is significantly enhancing the depth and breadth of insights available to its clients.
