Status update:
British Columbia’s new Clean Energy Act consolidates BC Hydro and BC Transmission Corporation into a single entity, and requires the consolidated company to prepare an integrated resource plan (IRP) for government that includes an examination of infrastructure and capacity needs for electricity transmission for the next 30 years. The IRP replaces the BC Utilities Commission’s (BCUC) requirement to undertake a Long-Term Electricity Transmission Inquiry.
