We would like to draw attention to a major regulatory requirement for Site C, which was outlined in BC Hydro’s Project Definitions Consultation Discussion Guide of Oct/Nov. 2008.
The following two paragraphs are a direct quotation from that guide:
“Another major regulatory requirement would be an application to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). This application is required before a utility constructs or operates an extension to its existing system. For approval, the BCUC needs to be satisfied that the new system or extension is in the public interest and necessary for the public’s convenience.
