Re-instatement of Transmission
Posted on

, 2:22 p.m.
On 23 April 2010, BCPS (Powerex) withdrew two Transmission Service Requests (OASIS #71795743 and #73984037) for Long-Term Point-to-Point service on the BCTC-AESO Path. Request #71795743 was to remain in the queue until the Stop Date of 1 January 2011 as noted in BCTC's 29 October 2009 bulletin. Request #73984037 was submitted in accordance with the implementation of BCUC Order G-45-10. BCPS notified BCTC immediately that these two requests had been withdrawn in error along with other Short-Term hourly requests, and requested that BCTC restore the two requests with their original queue positions.
BCTC accepts BCPS' request for re-instatement and will revise the status of the two requests from "Withdrawn" to "Received". BCTC considered the following factors in determining that it should reinstate the two requests:
- BCPS notified BCTC of the error immediately after the requests were withdrawn.
- No other customers could have reasonably relied on BCPS's mistake to their detriment.
- Reinstating the two requests will put customers back in the position they would be in had the mistake not been made.
NE Purchasing with Alberta Exports Rule

The BC Hydro Wholesale Transmission Service Application - Supplement 30 states that "Network Integration Transmission Service allows the Network Customer to integrate, economically dispatch and regulate its current and planned Network Resources to serve its Network Load." In addition, the service "also may be used by the Network Customer to deliver economy energy purchases to its Network Load from non-designated resources on an as-available basis without additional charge" (which we have labelled as Network Economy Service). As such, it is our policy that when BC Hydro Power Supply reserves Network Economy Transmission Service and they or Powerex are exporting energy to Alberta, Power Supply and Powerex must schedule as much or more PTP transmission Service and energy from US to BC as they do BC to AB.
