Dear Mr. Hobbs:
Re: Creative Energy Vancouver Platforms Inc.
Compliance Filing Pursuant to Letter L-33-15
2016/17 Annual Contracting Plan
On July 1, 2016 Creative Energy Vancouver Platforms Inc. (Creative Energy), as requested in Letter L-33-15, submitted to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission), on a confidential basis, Creative Energy’s Annual Contracting Plan for the period November 2016 to October 2017 (2016/17 ACP). In its submission, Creative Energy provides details regarding its plans for selecting a supplier for natural gas supply for the 2016/17 contract year and requests Commission acceptance to enter into a fixed forward price contract for approximately 25 percent of its annual natural gas supply requirement.
The Commission reviewed the Creative Energy filing and accepts the 2016/17 Annual Contracting Plan including Creative Energy’s plan to enter into a fixed forward price contract.
The Commission’s Rules for Natural Gas Energy Supply Contracts that are Appendix A to Order G‑130-06 set out rules to facilitate the review of natural gas energy supply contacts that must be filed with the Commission for acceptance under section 71 of the Utilities Commission Act as being in the public interest. Accordingly, Creative Energy is required to file for acceptance the natural gas energy supply contracts it executes for the 2016/17 contract year and the Commission requests that Creative Energy include information regarding the outcome of the supplier selection evaluation process in its filing.
Creative Energy is also requested to file its 2017/18 annual contracting plan prior to entering into gas supply contracts for the period commencing November 1, 2017 but no later than June 30, 2017.
The Commission agrees to hold confidential the 2016/17 ACP filing and related information filed in support of the 2016/17 ACP as it contains commercially sensitive information.
Yours truly,
