Re: FortisBC Energy Inc. (FEI)
FEI System Extension Application – Extension Request
Dear Ms. Walsh:
By Letter L-11-25, dated June 17, 2025, the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) directed FortisBC Energy Inc. (FEI) to file an application for the review of its terms and conditions, extension policies and the parts of the tariff governing customer connections on or before November 15, 2025 (System Extension Application).
The BCUC writes in response to FEI’s letter dated August 15, 2025, requesting an extension to file its System Extension Application from November 15, 2025 to May 15, 2026. FEI requests the extension in order to conduct an engagement process with First Nations, stakeholders and customers.
The BCUC has reviewed FEI’s request and grants FEI an extension from November 15, 2025 to May 15, 2026 for the filing of its System Extension Application.
The BCUC notes that Letter L-11-25 requested FEI to include a proposal for regulatory process in its System Extension Application. The BCUC requests FEI to propose an efficient regulatory process to facilitate a timely review of the application, considering the six-month extension granted.
Sincerely,
