FortisBC is in the process of developing a long term resource plan for submission to the BC Utilities Commission. The Resource Plan deals with FortisBC’s long term generation needs and differs from FortisBC’s System Development Plan which deals directly with power lines and substations. The Resource Plan examines the capacity of our existing sources of power generation and proposes solutions to supply our existing and forecast customer load requirements. It will provide new information and analyses on FortisBC’s current and forecasted energy requirements, current resource adequacy and develop a strategy to close any forecasted energy gaps.
The 2007 BC Energy Plan plays a significant role in FortisBC’s evaluation of potential sources for additional power, providing public policy guidance on directions that BC would like to take in making these types of decisions. Public perceptions and opinions on all of these topics are critical to FortisBC’s decision process. As part of our research, FortisBC is engaged in public and stakeholder consultation to better understand customer perceptions of resource options.

If you have a larger house and aren't using one or more rooms, be sure to lower the heat to those rooms by closing the vents or turning down the heaters. Check your basement and attic to ensure you're not heating areas that aren't occupied.  |
