BC Hydro's Report on Bioenergy Call Phase I

As part of the 2008 LTAP Hearing, BC Hydro released a document entitled "Report on Bioenergy Call Phase I" (caution: it's a large document). The report is a very interesting read about BC Hydro's recent Bioenergy Call Phase I awards, where four EPA's were issued to proponents.

In the Report, Chapter 1 provides the context of the Phase 1 RFP by reviewing and describing how the Phase 1 RFP aligns with the BC Government's 2007 Energy Plan and Special Direction No. 10 to the BCUC.

Chapter 2 provides a summary of the Phase 1 RFP implementation, including an overview of the evaluation of proposals, selection of optimal portfolios and the Phase 1 RFP award.

Chapter 3 includes a brief overview of the First Nations, stakeholder and proponent engagement process.

Chapter 4 sets out the justification for the volume of energy awarded in the Phase 1 RFP.

Chapter 5 demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of the Phase 1 RFP awards.
