Dear Ms. Roy:
Re: FortisBC Energy Inc. – Revelstoke Service Area
November 2015 – October 2016 Annual Contracting Plan
On May 21, 2015, FortisBC Energy Inc. (FEI) submitted to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission), on a confidential basis, its Annual Contracting Plan for the Revelstoke Service Area for the period of November 2015 to October 2016 (Revelstoke 2015/16 ACP). In its submission, FEI requests Commission acceptance of the Revelstoke 2015/16 ACP. The objectives for the Revelstoke 2015/16 ACP are identified as follows:
1. To provide secure, reliable and cost effective supply in order to meet customer requirements; and
2. To reduce the impact of propane price volatility on customer propane rates in a cost effective manner.
In compliance with the requirement of Commission letter L-32-14, FEI also included in its submission the results of the previous year’s contracting plan in terms of financial results of its contracting strategies and the degree to which the objectives were met using these strategies.
The Commission has reviewed the FEI filing and accepts the Revelstoke 2015/16 ACP. The Commission accepts FEI has met the reporting requirement of the previous year’s results as directed by Commission letter L-32-14.
A copy of FEI’s non-confidential Executive Summary for the FEI 2015/16ACP is attached and is available for public review. Exclusive of the non-confidential Executive Summary, the Commission agrees to hold the 2015/16 ACP confidential.
Yours truly,
