FortisBC Energy Inc. ~ Annual Review for 2022 Delivery Rates ~ Decision and Order G-366-21 - 2021-12-10
Decisions and ReportsFortisBC (gas – Mainland)
In reply, FEI acknowledges the negative impacts of reduced customer growth on all its customers and states that it is “actively exploring available options” through its renewable natural gas (RNG) and demand-side management (DSM) programs to reduce emissions and meet municipal targets. [...] because the MRP is designed to provide flexibility for FEI, the Annual Review process is not an opportunity to reconsider the MRP Decision or accommodate a broad review of policy impacts, and other proceedings (e.g. the upcoming LTGRP and the RNG program review) will provide a forum for exploration of policy impacts.[114] [...] In our view, it is premature as well as duplicative for us to direct any specific information on policy impacts and capture rates be included in the next Annual Review given that these matters would be reviewed in other BCUC proceedings, including the upcoming LTGRP and RNG program review. Therefore, the Panel finds that it

Orders - G-GeneralFortisBC (gas – Mainland)
FEI customers are expected to increase in the coming years as FEI ramps up the supply of low-carbon gases, including renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen. More specifically, the cost of gas supply (natural gas, RNG and hydrogen) has been estimated by FEI to be $24/GJ by 2024 with hydrogen declining to $15/GJ by 2030. [...] to forward-looking elements such as RNG growth that are not included in this COSA study.[172] In reply, FEI submits that neither the CEC nor BCOAPO’s recommendations are reasonable as they do not consider the year required to complete a COSA study, and the even longer time required for a comprehensive rate design.
