(“Fortis”) would file their base data, initial scenarios and the transmission implications of those scenarios by September 18, 2009. On September 17, 2009, the Commission received letters from both BC Hydro and BCTC requesting an extension for the filing of their initial evidence until September 25, 2009 (Exhibits B1‐8 and B2‐11). On September 18, 2009, Fortis submitted a letter (Exhibit B3‐5) filing its 2009 Resource Plan and its 30‐Year Load Forecast and Generating Resource Data as evidence in the Transmission Inquiry and stating that the data had been provided to BCTC as an input into the BCTC scenario analyses. The Commission received one letter of comment, from Energy Solutions for Vancouver Island et al. that supports BCTC’s request for an extension (Exhibit C58‐5). The Commission grants the requests of BC Hydro and BCTC to extend the deadline for filing their preliminary evidence until September 25, 2009. Yours truly, Original signed by: Erica M.
