Posted on December 20, 3:07 P.M.
BC Hydro is holding a workshop on January 27, 2025, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. to engage its stakeholders regarding discussion on the existing and potential market design and policies in Alberta affecting the commercial use and availability of the BC-Alberta intertie.
These initiatives affect BC Hydro’s transmission customers under BC Hydro’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), who use the BC-Alberta intertie. Actions taken by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) may have impacts on our customers.
In this workshop we will discuss the potential impacts and how BC Hydro might address them in a manner that ensures fair and mutually beneficial electricity trade with Alberta.
The workshop will be held in-person in the 1st floor auditorium of our Vancouver office at 333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, B.C.

Business Practices Updated
Posted on October 21, 12:00 p.m.
Further to the bulletin posted on September 26, 2024 soliciting feedback from customers, BC Hydro Transmission Provider (BCHA) received comments from Powerex and BC Power Supply (BCPS) regarding BCHA’s approach to errors in TSR processing.
BCHA appreciates BCPS’s detailed comments, and acknowledges that should an error occur, remediation should be determined on a case-by-case basis; taking into account the unique circumstances of each case, including but not limited to Transmission Paths, TSR Increments, and Start Times. BCHA also agrees that while the concept of “returning the queue back to the state that was last established” is ideal, practicability and feasibility needs to be considered in determining the course of remediation, if any.
BCHA has adopted the above concepts, and the following business practices have been revised and will be implemented immediately:
Processing of Short-Term Point-to-Point Transmission Service Requests (Section 5.0)
Processing of Long-Term Point-to-Point Transmission Service Requests (Section 8.0)
Business Practices Updated
Posted on September 26, 12:25 p.m.
The following Business Practices have been updated to clarify BC Hydro’s approach to remedying errors in TSR processing.
Please provide comments to Brenda Ambrosi by October 11, 2024; customer comments may be posted.
