BC Hydro advances with Clean Power Call

18 November 2009


BC Hydro had received 68 proposals to its call for clean, renewable and cost effective electricity, released in June 2008. Out of those, 21 proposals were eliminated either because proponents withdrew their proposals; the proposals did not meet the requirements of the request for proposals, or the proposals were considered to have too high a level of risk.

Discussions aimed at securing electricity purchase agreements will now proceed with the proponents of the 13 proposals that have been identified as the most cost-effective. In addition, proponents of the remaining 34 proposals have been given time to make their proposals more cost-effective. Proposals remaining in the Clean Power Call include hydro, wind and waste heat.

BC Hydro intends to begin awarding contracts for the Clean Power Call in December and plans to file the agreements with the British Columbia Utilities Commission in early 2010. For a list of proposals continuing in the call process, please click on the weblink below.
