Dear Ms. Kennedy:
Re: Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. and Pacific Northern Gas (N.E.) Ltd.
Request for Extension on Resource Planning Submissions
On October 4, 2013, Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. and Pacific Northern Gas (N.E.) Ltd. (collectively PNG) applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission), pursuant to section 44.1 of the Utilities Commission Act, for a four-month extension to the originally specified filing date of December 8, 2013 for the following resource plan related submissions:
1) PNG-West – Updated Resource Plan (as per Commission Order G-209-11 and as reiterated in the Reasons for Decision accompanying Order G-114-13); and
2) PNG(N.E.) – resubmission of the Demand Side Measures portion of the 2012
Resource Plan and updated load forecast (as per Commission Order G-60-13 and as
reiterated in the Reasons for Decision accompanying Order
G-131-13.
PNG explained that this extension request is primarily due to the delayed timing of the Residential End Use Survey that PNG commissioned to support and improve its residential load forecasts and Demand Side Measures evaluation framework.
The Commission reviewed PNG’s request and has determined that it is reasonable to extend the filing deadline to no later than April 8, 2014.
Yours truly,
Erica Hamilton
