Re:         KPL Powerline Complaint – Suspension of Complaint – L-27-20

 

Dear Ms. Blackstone,

 

Following your complaint on behalf of the Ka:yu:'k't'h' / Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nations (KCFN) regarding Kyuquot Power Ltd. (KPL), the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) commenced a hearing into this complaint. On March 15, 2020, the BCUC issued Order G-50-20 to investigate some of the issues raised in the complaint.

 

Order G-50-20 included a number of compliance directives that KPL were required to file which have now been received and have been reviewed by the BCUC. The BCUC also received responses regarding Information Requests sent to KPL on March 5, 2020.

 

In accordance with the BCUC’s Complaint Guidelines[1], the BCUC requested that the KCFN submit any additional questions and/or concerns and received KCFN’s submissions on April 28, 2020.

 

Upon review of the submissions received to date from KCFN and KPL, the BCUC considers that an adjournment of the complaint is warranted pending the outcome of a new hearing to investigate the safety and reliability of the KPL system.

 

The BCUC will inform you once a Panel has been appointed and a regulatory timetable has been established for this new hearing so that you can determine if you want to participate in the hearing.

 

Sincerely,

 

Original signed by:

 

Patrick Wruck

Commission Secretary
