Re: Creative Energy Vancouver Platforms Inc. – 2018/19 Annual Contracting Plan
Dear Mr. Iyer:
On July 16, 2018, Creative Energy Vancouver Platforms Inc. (CEV) in compliance with Letter L-33-17, submitted to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC), on a confidential basis, CEV’s Annual Contracting Plan (ACP) for the period of November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019 (2018/19 ACP).
The BCUC reviewed the CEV filing and accepts the 2018/19 ACP, which includes CEV’s strategy to secure advance purchase contracts for up to 30 percent of its overall gas supply requirement.
In accordance with section 14.0 of the Rules for Natural Gas Energy Supply Contracts under Order G-130-06, CEV is required to file its ACP each year and provide the information that is required.
Accordingly, CEV is requested to file its 2019/20 ACP prior to entering into gas supply contracts for the period commencing November 1, 2019, by no later than June 30, 2019. CEV is requested to include in the 2019/20 ACP the following:
• An assessment of its advanced purchased contracts strategy and activities as contemplated in the 2018/19 ACP; and
• Information regarding the outcome of the supplier selection and evaluation process beyond November 1, 2019.
The BCUC also notes that by Order E-21-17 dated November 2, 2017, the BCUC accepted for filing the supply contract between CEV and Cascadia Energy Ltd. for the period November 1, 2016 to November 1, 2019.
The BCUC agrees to hold confidential the 2018/19 ACP and related information filed in support of the 2018/19 ACP as they contain commercially sensitive information. A copy of CEV’s non-confidential Executive Summary of the CEV 2018/19 ACP is attached to this letter and is available to the public.
Sincerely,
