Opening Thought

• Dialogue can help you uncover the un-discussed thinking of the people in your group.

• The problems we face today are too complex to be managed by one person. We require more than one brain to solve them.

• Dialogue seeks to harness the “collective intelligence” of the people around you; together we are more aware and smarter than we are on our own.

55

Rules of Engagement

• Challenge ideas, not people• Participate• Stay focused and in process• Be positive and open• Be solution-oriented • One conversation at a time• Listen generously• Encourage new ideas; build on the ideas of others• Observe time limits; stick to the agenda• Ensure that everyone gets heard• See situation from a perspective other than your own

Development of the Integrated Resource PlanCharlie Weiler

14

What Is An Integrated Resource Plan

• A plan to meet customers’ needs for electricity in British Columbia over the next 20 years

• Updated at least every 5 years to be responsive to change in circumstances, such as legislation, policy direction, forecast demand for electricity, and other drivers

BC Hydro’s Integrated Resource Plan does not, by itself, commit BC Hydro to any specific capital projects. Recommended action items will be subject to subsequent approval and consultation requirements.

15

Why Is An Integrated Resource Plan Needed

• To ensure British Columbians continue to receive cost-effective, reliable electricity over the long term

• To meet future electricity demand, BC Hydro needs to plan ahead

• Generation facilities can take 5-7 years to build; transmission even longer

• Provides strategic direction for BC Hydro

• Consultation Process

Additional information is available in the BC Hydro Integrated Resource Plan First Nations Consultation Interim Report at: www.bchydro.com/irp

18

First Nations Input on Planning Topics –General Themes

• Participation in Economy• Creating jobs/revenue through participation in clean/renewable energy

development• Interest in procurement and employment opportunities with BC Hydro

• Environmental Protection• Support for actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions• Widespread support for conservation and efficiency• Minimize environmental footprint• Perceived conflict between conservation and economic development

• Cultural Continuity• Importance of maintaining traditional way of life• First Nations identity is inextricably intertwined with the land

19

• Local Decision Making• Perception that development benefits urban areas at the expense of First

Nations’ communities• Site C development not supported, needs consent of First Nations in

project area• Preference for planning from a First Nations’ territory view

• Affordable & Reliable Electricity• Preference for low electricity rates• Need for affordable energy efficiency upgrades• Reliable electricity service in First Nations communities

• Consultation Process• Significant concern and disagreement with BC Hydro’s characterization of

this process as ‘consultation’

Planning Context

Demand for Electricity

Reliable, cost effective, electricity service for BC Hydro Customers

Legislation/Policy

Global Economy & Market Trends

26

B.C.’s Clean Energy Act• Self-sufficient by 2016• 93% of all electricity from clean or renewable

resources• Keep rates competitive• 66% of increased demand through

conservation/efficiency• Use renewables to help achieve GHG reduction

targets• Foster development of First Nations and rural

communities through use of and development of clean or renewable resources

Planning Context

27

The Draft Integrated Resource Plan

Planningcontext

How muchelectricity is

needed?

What is the gap?

How can the gap

be closed?

New since 2011 that influences the plan• legislative change:

self-sufficiency requirement changed from critical water to average water

• annual long term load forecast updated in December 2011, shows energy demand to increase by 50% over the next 20 years

• planning context continues to evolve

28

Energy and Peak Capacity

• BC Hydro must plan to meet both future “energy” and “peak capacity” needs

• “Energy” is the total amount of electricity that can be generated over a certain period of time

• “Peak Capacity” is the maximum amount of electricity that can be generated at any one time

• Sources of dependable peak capacity include:

Large Hydro with Reservoir Pumped Storage Natural Gas

Draft Recommended ActionsJohn Rich

34

The Draft Recommended Actions

Recommended actions to address the forecast energy and peak capacity gaps• Conserve More• Build and Reinvest More in Existing Assets• Buy More

Prepare for Potentially Greater Demand


35

The Draft Recommended Actions

Considerations:

• Technical Specifications (e.g., Reliability)

• Cost

• Effect on Provincial Energy Objectives

• Environmental Attributes

• Economic Development Attributes

• First Nations, Stakeholder, Public and Technical Advisory Committee Input

……………………………………………………RECOMMENDED ACTION #1: a) Increase our energy savings target to 9,800

gigawatt hours per year by 2020 (1,000 gigawatt hours more than the current plan) through conservation and efficiency programs, incentives and regulations.

b) Explore more codes, standards and rate options for savings beyond the annual target of 9,800 gigawatthours

……………………………………………………

Reduce Energy Consumption

• Clean & cost-effective compared to other options

• Program effectiveness is linked to behaviour

CONSERVE MORE

• See feedback form p. 3

……………………………………………………RECOMMENDED ACTION #2: Pursue voluntary conservation programs that encourage residential, commercial and industrial customers to reduceenergy consumption during peak periods.

………………………………...........................

Encourage Less Consumption During Periods of Peak Demand

• Improve voluntary programs designed to reduce peak demand or shift demand away from peak hours.

37

CONSERVE MORE


Facilitated Discussionon

Conserve MoreRecommended Actions

38

CONSERVE MORE

BUILD AND REINVEST MORE

………………………………………………………RECOMMENDED ACTION #3: Build Site C to add 5,100 gigawatt hours of

annual energy and 1,100 megawatts of dependable capacity to the system for the earliest in-service date, subject to environmental certification and fulfilling the Crown’s duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal Groups

..........................................................................

Site C

• Lower cost clean energy and capacity

• Dependable and flexible resource to backup wind and run-of-river hydro

• Supports self sufficiency and climate change goals

• Projected to provide 35,000 direct and indirect jobs

39


……………………………………………………..RECOMMENDED ACTION #4: Begin work to allow the sixth generating unit at Revelstoke Generating Station to be built by 2018, adding 500 megawatts of peak capacity to the BC Hydro system.………………...................................................

RECOMMENDED ACTION #5: Continue to investigate and advance cost-effective Resource Smart projects to utilize the remaining untapped capacity within BC Hydro’s existing hydroelectric system.........................................................................

Resource Smart

• Upgrades the existing system

• Cost effective energy and peak capacity

• Generally low or no incremental environmental footprint


40

• See feedback form p. 5-6

………………………………………....................RECOMMENDED ACTION #6: Fill the short term peak capacity gap from 2015 to 2020 with a combination of market purchases first, power from the Columbia River Treaty second, and extending the existing backup use of Burrard Thermal Generating Station, if required and as authorized by regulation ...……………....................................................


Combine Readily Available Resources to Fill Short Term Capacity Gap

• Short-term capacity gap emerges in 2015 before new projects such as Revelstoke 6 and Site C come online

41


…………………………....................................RECOMMENDED ACTION #7: Reinforce the existing 500-kilovolt line from Prince George to Terrace to meet new demand on the north coast……………………............................................


Transmission Requirements

• The existing 500-kilovolt line from Prince George to Terrace will need to be reinforced to meet new demand on the north coast

42



Build and Reinvest MoreRecommended Actions

43

BUY MORE Made-in-B.C. Power

……………………………………………..........RECOMMENDED ACTION #8: Develop energy procurement options to acquire up to 2,000 gigawatt hours per year from clean energy producers for projects that would come into service in the 2016–2018 time period.…………………………………………………....Final decisions on the timing, and the volume of energy will be made once there is more certainty regarding projected new electricity loads.………………………………………...................

• Helps further close the gap

• Supports economic development through clean or renewable energy development

44



Buy More Made-in B.C. PowerRecommended Actions

45

BUY MORE Made-in-B.C. Power

Prepare for Potentially Greater DemandJohn Rich

46

…………………………………………….................RECOMMENDED ACTION #9: Continue to work with Liquefied Natural Gas developers to understand their electricity requirements, and keep options open until further certainty on future requirements can be established. Specifically: a. Undertake work to maintain the earliest in-

service date for a new 500-kv transmission line from Prince George to Terrace and Kitimat and from the Peace River region to Prince George.

b. Develop procurement options for additional clean energy resources, backed up by gas-fired generation (located only in the north coast, or in both the north coast and across the province) for electricity that could be delivered in the 2019–2020 time frame, should it be needed.

............................…...................................................

North Coast: Liquefied Natural Gas Development

• Two Liquefied Natural Gas facilities are included in base resource plan

• This recommended action addresses what if a third Liquefied Natural Gas facility requests service or a number of new mines come online.

PREPARE FOR POTENTIALLY GREATER DEMAND

47• See feedback from p. 8

……………………………………………………RECOMMENDED ACTION #10: Continue to monitor the northeast natural gas industry and undertake studies to keep electricity supply options open, including transmission connection to the integrated system, and local gas-fired generation..………………………………………..…………

Northeast: Natural Gas Extraction

• The Horn River Basin: a large area northeast of Fort Nelson not currently connected to BC Hydro’s integrated transmission system

• Potential large, new natural gas extraction could emerge in the Horn River Basin in northeast B.C. and seek electrical power from BC Hydro


48


……………………………………………………..RECOMMENDED ACTION #11a: Working with industry, explore pumped storage capacity options to reduce the lead time to in-service dates and to develop an understanding of where and how to site such future resources in the province, should they be needed. …………………………………………………....
