The growth rate is calculated as the year-over-year change in domestic load. "Growth rate with DSM" refers to incremental Power Smart impacts beyond implemented Power Smart programs. The rate of growth has increased due to strong economic growth, and a robust housing market. We expect the demand growth rate to decrease due to a slowdown in housing starts, and BC Hydro load displacement projects coming on line.
