Dear Ms. Fraser:
Re: British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority
2012 Network Economy Annual Report
Extension Request
On March 28, 2012, British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) sent a letter to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) requesting an extension for the filing of its 2012 Network Economy Annual Report from March 28, 2013 to April 12, 2013.
On April 3, 2013, BC Hydro, by letter, further explained the reason for this request. Pursuant to an inquiry from a market participant regarding the economic test results for Network Economy Service, BC Hydro has found an error in the data used to calculate the “Trigger Price,” which is a component of the economic test. BC Hydro is now conducting a historical analysis to determine any impacts arising from the error. The extension will allow BC Hydro to analyze the data and ensure that the 2012 Network Economy Annual Report is accurate.
The Commission approves the extension request but would like to remind BC Hydro that it should request an extension well before the due date so the Commission can take action on the request before the deadline occurs.
Yours truly,
Erica Hamilton
