Electricity and related policy issues continue to command significant interest in British Columbia at the consumer, supplier and government levels.
Since the last B.C. Power Summit in 2009, security of supply and related cost issues have taken on a particular prominence in light of BC Hydro resource planning, major capital project and revenue requirement applications to the Utilities Commission, and appeals of the Commission’s decision regarding BCTC’s Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project.
Meanwhile, conservation and GHG issues continue to stand prominently on the agendas of British Columbia electric utilities and the Utilities Commission. Regarding the latter, BC Hydro filed an application in October for an innovative conservation rate structure for its large commercial customers that would bring full marginal cost pricing to the largest customers in that class, and initiated a review of its conservation rate structure for its transmission voltage customers.
In the next year we expect to see further developments on smart meters, GHG policy, the renewal of BC Hydro’s Heritage Assets and wholesale electricity markets in the Western Interconnection. Developments on these and other important topics since March of 2009 are the subject of the 2010 BC Power Summit.
The speakers at this conference have all played a leading role in these issues, and are well positioned to offer valuable insight into each of them. Conference attendees will have opportunities to pose questions and engage in informal discussions during the event. All attendees will be provided with conference materials prepared by the speakers.
In sum, this is a unique opportunity to gain information valuable to your business on an element of strategic importance to the British Columbia economy.
Executives and managers of energy utilities, significant energy-consumers, IPPs, and power marketers will all find Insight Information’s 7th Annual B.C. Power Summit invaluable. Lawyers, consultants, government employees and regulators will also find numerous topics of interest and value at the Summit.
We invite you all to attend!
