Dear Ms. Roy:
Re: FortisBC Energy (Vancouver Island) Inc.
2013 First Quarter Report on the Gas Cost Variance Account
and the Rate Stabilization Deferral Account
On March 8, 2013, FortisBC Energy (Vancouver Island) Inc. filed its 2013 First Quarter Report on the Gas Cost Variance Account and the Rate Stabilization Deferral Account for Information.
Pursuant to British Columbia Utilities Commission Order G-44-12 and the 2012-2013 Revenue Requirements and Rates Decision, both dated April 12, 2012, the Commission approved permanent rates for 2012 and 2013 for FEVI Core Market sales customers at the same level as the 2011 rates. The Decision also directed FEVI to continue to file quarterly reports on the Gas Cost Variance Account and the Rate Stabilization Deferral Account but allowed FEVI to discontinue quarterly reporting of the FEVI customer additions and the comparison to the competitive markets.
The Commission acknowledges receipt of the Report regarding the Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast service areas.
Yours truly,
Erica Hamilton
