B. On June 16, 2016, the Commission issued its decision on Creative Energy’s Application for Approval of the Restated and Amended Northeast False Creek and Chinatown Neighbourhood Energy Agreement (Franchise Decision) and Order G-88-16 wherein the Commission did not approve the applied-for franchise;
