Mandatory Reliability Standards
|
| |
For the Electricity Bulk Power System in British Columbia |
|
The 2007 British Columbia Energy Plan stated that, because our transmission system is part of a much larger, interconnected grid, we need to work with other jurisdictions to maximize the benefits of interconnection, remain consistent with evolving North American reliability standards, and ensure British Columbia’s infrastructure remains capable of meeting customer needs.
To address this need, the provincial government amended the Utilities Commission Act by adding Section 125.2 giving the Commission jurisdiction to adopt reliability standards for application in British Columbia and made the Mandatory Reliability Standards Regulation which describes the parties that are subject to adopted reliability standards.
In response to an Assessment Report from the British Columbia Transmission Corporation dated March 27, 2009, Commission Order G-67-09 adopted 103 reliability standards. Order G-123-09 adopted the Rules of Procedure, Registration Manual and Compliance Monitoring Program for reliability standards in British Columbia and appointed the Western Electricity Coordinating Council as Administrator to assist the Commission in carrying out the registration of parties and compliance monitoring. |
