BC Utilities Commission directed to replace biomass energy program rates by April 1, 2026
B.C. Reg. 71/2019 – Direction to the British Columbia Utilities Commission Respecting the Biomass Energy Program — under the Utilities Commission Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
The provincial government has amended the direction governing the Biomass Energy Program to require the BC Utilities Commission to issue final orders replacing the existing biomass energy rate with a new rate structure set out in a newly added Appendix 2. The Commission must act within 10 days of receiving an application from the authority to do so. The amendment also updates a cross-reference in the direction so that the relevant subsection points to the new rate-replacement provision rather than the original rate-setting rule. Biomass energy suppliers and utilities participating in the program should review the new Appendix 2 rate schedule and anticipate updated rates taking effect as directed.
