When asked why the orphan fund levy only increased from 2024 by 7% in 2025 when the number of wells increased by 125%, the AER provided a link to a web page with no numbers beyond 2023. And then stopped responding to my emails.
The AER has the authority by legislation to decide the levy, but the AER confirmed that the final decision was made by the Alberta government.
