Notes:

  1. The Installed Capacity for Hydroelectric is based on the Water Rental Capacity for the Calendar Year as the data are not recorded on a fiscal year basis. For example, fiscal 2011 includes the Water Rental Capacity from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Fiscal 2011 Hydroelectric capacity increased by 152 MW due the addition of 136 MW (pro rated) for the one third purchase of the Waneta plant and the addition of 16 MW (prorated) for the Revelstoke 5 unit additional that came into service December 20, 2010.
  2. Rupert has Diesel as a backup source. The combined capacity of Natural Gas and Diesel is 46 MW, which is captured under Thermal.
  3. In prior years, the Diesel installed capacity reported for F2007-2009 include Rupert Installed Capacity of ~47 MW, the amount is now only reported under Thermal as Rupert can be run on gas or diesel, but not both at the same time.
