Growing Wind in British Columbia

• Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) in process with BC Hydro• Will determine future renewable energy tenders, likely in 2012

• Scheduled for completion in Nov. 2011

• Future power call dependent on export market developments• Will wind need to compete with run-of-river and other hydro?

• Question: What role will economically efficient Canadian renewable energy play in US states’ renewable portfolio requirements?

• Question: How can we ensure that the new IRP process recommends new wind energy procurements? What can we do to help?
