Re: Stargas Utilities Ltd. - Application to Vary Delivery Rate, Amend Cost of Service Formula and Approve Replacement Term Financing Redemption of Preferred Shares - Extension Request
Dear Mr. Blumes:
The British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) writes in response to Stargas Utilities Ltd. (Stargas) letter dated August 26, 2020, requesting an extension to file its Application to Vary Delivery Rate, Amend Cost of Service Formula and Approve Replacement Term Financing Redemption of Preferred Shares (Application) in accordance with Order G-59-17.
The BCUC has reviewed Stargas’ request and finds it reasonable to extend the filing date from August 31, 2020 to no later than September 30, 2020. However, the BCUC notes that an extension to the filing date of this Application has previously been granted on a number of occasions. The BCUC expects that any issues identified in the extension are being adequately addressed in a timely manner and further reminds Stargas it is expected to file its Application by the required date in order to address important public interest matters.
The BCUC requests that Stargas provide a status update regarding the filing of the Application no later than Tuesday, September 15, 2020.
Sincerely,
Original signed by:
Marija Tresoglavic
Acting Commission Secretary
