Our Review Process

At the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC), we review applications, from regulated entities, through open public proceedings.

This includes applications about:

  • Changes to rates
  • New facilities or additions
  • Major energy projects or reviews assigned by the Lieutenant Governor in Council
  • A complaint by a customer or affected third party

The following chart shows the steps in our review process:
