| Calendar Year | 2003 |

BC Hydro will be tracking electricity intensity as one of several leading indicators for potential demand growth. Residential electricity intensity is calculated by dividing the total provincial residential electricity sales by the total population of B.C. The non-residential figure is calculated by dividing the total business electricity sales by the provincial Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expressed in constant 1997 dollars. This is the first year this performance measure is being reported, with 2003 serving as the baseline year. All data was supplied by Statistics Canada; 2004 data is not yet available.
