Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
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.
