Fortis Responses to Information Requests and Timetable for Further Process
British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) Letter L-44-10 invited FortisBC Inc. (FortisBC) and Interveners to comment on a letter from Zellstoff Celgar (Celgar), dated June 7, 2010, concerning some of the information requests (IRs) submitted to FortisBC with respect to hearing Exhibits B-33 and B-35. Celgar identified specific IRs they object to (the Contentious IRs), and gave reasons for their objections. Letter L-44-10 specified that the Commission Panel would issue a determination on further process concurrently with its determination on the Contentious IRs.
The Commission received comments on Letter L-44-10 from the BC Municipal Electrical Utilities, Big White Ski Resort, and FortisBC. Considering the comments received, the Commission Panel has determined that FortisBC should respond to all of the Contentious IRs. The responses should be sent to the Commission by Wednesday, June 23, 2010.
Regarding further process, the Commission Panel has determined that the Supplementary Regulatory Timetable, specified in Attachment “A” to Order G-86-10, will be amended as follows:
