Latest News
On June 3, 2010, the Clean Energy Act (the “CEA”) received Royal Assent in the BC Legislature. The Province of British Columbia now has a dedicated piece of renewable energy legislation, rather than a set of well intentioned plans and policies.
Below is a summary of what are the key parts of the CEA:
The Province is to achieve electricity self-sufficiency by 2016, plus 3,000 GWh of insurance by 2020
The demand-side management target is raised to an aggressive 66%
It sets a clean and renewable energy target (an RPS if you will) of 93% (the highest standard anywhere in North America)
The Province is to become a net exporter of electricity from clean and renewable resources, with BC Hydro being the aggregator and with matters regarding exports being exempt from BCUC regulation (this is a particularly notable and significant part of the law)
Certain major electricity projects are also exempted from BCUC regulation
BC Hydro is to deliver comprehensive Integrated Resource Plans (replacing the LTAP's) to Cabinet, every 5 years
BC Hydro is made stronger by its merger and re-integration with BC Transmission Corp.
No clean energy projects are permitted in parks or conservancies
Environmental cumulative impacts of clean energy projects are to be taken into consideration in the Environmental Assessment Act
There is a feed-in-tariff, but only for emerging technologies (ie, ocean and others to be prescribed)
Smart meters are to be added by 2012
Creates a First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund (with details to be prescribed by regulation)
Mandates reductions of BC's greenhouse gases for prescribed periods to 2050
Standing Offer Program to be revamped (ie, prices, size and included technologies)
