Dear Ms. Roy:
Re: FortisBC Inc.
2015/2016 Annual Electric Contracting Plan (October 2015 – September 2016)
On March 18, 2015, FortisBC Inc. (FBC) filed on a confidential basis its 2015/2016 Annual Electric Contracting Plan (2015/16 AECP). The Commission accepts the FBC 2015/16 AECP and items as set out on page 13 as in the public interest.
The major components of the FBC 2015/16 AECP are as follows:
- A Nomination under the Power Purchase Agreement between FBC and BC Hydro for the 2015/16 contract year equal to 708 GWh, less any firm market contracts that FBC can enter into as described in section 5 of the 2015/16 AECP; and
- FBC’s proposed plan to enter into firm market contracts for operating years 2015/16 through 2018/19, which includes maximum market purchases of 102 GWh for the operating year 2015/16.
The information in the 2015/16 AECP, exclusive of the Executive Summary, will be treated as confidential.
A copy of FBC’s non-confidential Executive Summary for the FBC 2015/16 AECP is attached and is available for public review.
Yours truly,
Erica Hamilton
