description: 'ATCO Ltd. (TSX: ACO.X) is a Calgary, Alberta diversified global corporation and the controlling shareholder
  of Canadian Utilities Limited, through which it runs the regulated energy businesses that make it one of western Canada''s
  largest utility groups. It sits across several tiers of the value chain at once: ATCO Electric owns and operates electricity
  transmission and distribution across Alberta, ATCO Gas and ATCO Pipelines distribute and transmit natural gas in the province,
  ATCO EnPower builds storage, renewables and hydrogen assets, ATCO Australia operates gas distribution infrastructure in
  Western Australia, and ATCO Energy is a competitive retailer selling electricity, natural gas and home services to Alberta
  customers. Its API posture is the mirror image of the Ontario utilities: no consumer energy data mandate reaches it at all.
  Alberta has no Green Button regulation, ATCO is not on the Green Button Alliance member list, and it does not appear in
  the public Australian CDR energy data holder register — so there is no consumer data API, and a customer''s usage and billing
  data lives only behind the My Account login on a Salesforce commerce portal. What ATCO does publish, unmandated and without
  any signup at all, is real open grid data: ATCO Electric''s DER hosting capacity map is served from a public, anonymously
  queryable Esri ArcGIS REST feature service carrying 880,623 feeder segment features, linked directly from ATCO Electric''s
  own micro-generation and grid-connection pages. Open grid data, closed consumer data, no developer portal, and no OpenAPI
  anywhere on the estate.'

  name: ATCO Electric Hosting Capacity Feature Service
  description: ATCO Electric's distributed energy resource (DER) hosting capacity data, published as a public Esri ArcGIS
    REST feature service and surfaced through the "DER HOSTING CAPACITY MAP" web application that ATCO Electric links from
    its micro-generation and connect-to-the-grid pages. The service is registered in ATCO's own ArcGIS Online organization
    (urlKey "ATCO", item id 7b4d2b3dcecb4a509f34cbfc3587ff3e, item title "ATCO Electric Hosting Capacity", description "CYME
    Hosting Capacity Map", access "public"). A single polyline feature layer, "Hosting Capacity (KW)", exposes FEEDER, PHASE,
    SUB_NAME, SUB_NUM, DATELOADED, DER_CAP_KW, DER_CAP_KW1 and PROJECT_AREA fields. An anonymous, unauthenticated query against
    layer 0 returned a feature count of 880,623 on 2026-07-27. Service capabilities are "Query" only, maxRecordCount 1000.
    There is no ATCO documentation page, no OpenAPI definition, and no published usage terms — the contract is the self-describing
    ArcGIS REST service descriptor itself, harvested verbatim into openapi/.
