Hamilton Commission Secretary British Columbia Utilities Commission Sixth Floor Howe Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 2N3 Dear Ms. Hamilton: RE:. Project No British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority () Large General Service Rate Application (the Application) encloses the following updates to the Application: Exhibit B-1-4 Errata. In addition to the revisions described on the following page, is amending the Application with regard to provision of the transformer ownership discount (TOO) to the Small General Service (SGS) class. Although there is no SGS demand charge, believes that it should be providing the TOO to eligible SGS customers in order to be consistent with the existing TOO offered to eligible accounts in the irrigation, general service and residential classes. The need for consistency arises because of the proposed migration rules between the proposed MGS class and the SGS class. is revising the SGS tariff pages to reflect the TOO. The provision of the TOO to the SGS class also requires the change of the numbering of the rate schedules for the SGS rates in order for 's billing system to recognize the primary and transformer ownership discounts. is therefore proposing to change the SGS rates to RS 1300, 1301, 1310 and These and other amendments are effected through the enclosed errata filing (Exhibit B-1-4) and explained in the attached errata sheet British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, 333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver Be V6B 5R3

3 Large General Service Rate Application ERRATA January 22, 2010 REMOVE INSERT Note Page 1-9 Revision 1 December 7, 2009 Page 1-9 Revision 2 January 22, Page 1-13 Page 1-13 Revision 1 January 22, Appendix T Page 1 to 33 December, 2009 Appendix T Page 1 to 58 January 22, Notes: 1. Correction to definition of when the Minimum Energy Charge applies. 2. Deletion of footnote 7 and insertion of wording regarding transformer discount. Although there is no SGS demand charge, believes it should be providing the transformer ownership discount (TOD) to eligible SGS customers in order to be consistent with the existing TOD offered to eligible accounts in the irrigation, general service and residential classes. 3. Appendix T Draft Tariff Sheets have been replaced. Revisions include Insertion of updated index and table of contents pages to Electric Tariff. Correction to Rate Zone II definition to include Toad River in Terms and Conditions. Inclusion of migration rule to SGS as a Special Condition in Exempt General Service rate (RS 1200, 1201, 1210 and 1211). Changing the SGS rate codes to RS 1300, 1301, 1310 and 1311 which have the same numbering format as other general service rates that include provisions for primary and transformer ownership discounts. Rewording of migration rules in SGS RS 13XX and MGS RS 15XX to account for SGS accounts that are billed monthly. Renaming of Part 1 and Part 2 energy charges in LGS RS 16XX for clarity. Correction to the LGS rate provision that customers without HBLs take service for a period of 12 consecutive months under the rate schedule. Under the revised provision, only 12 consecutive months of service is required, which is consistent with lines 13-15, section , page 1-7, Chapter 1 of the Application. 1

4 Chapter 1 - Application Bands, that would limit a customer s exposure to the Part 2 energy rate within a range of 80 per cent of the HBL to 120 per cent of the HBL. Put another way, only a maximum of 20 per cent of an HBL would be subject to the Part 2 energy rate. Monthly energy consumption outside of that range would be charged at the applicable Part 1 energy rate. For example, if an account s HBL for a month is 100,000 kwh, and total energy consumption in the month is 130,000 kwh, the consumption that would be charged at the different energy rates would be as follows: 8 Table 1-3 Application of Price Limit Bands Billed Monthly Consumption = 130,000 kwh Applicable Energy Rate 14,800 kwh Part 1 (tier 1) energy rate 85,200 kwh Part 1 (tier 2) energy rate 20,000 kwh (20% of HBL) Part 2 energy rate 10,000 KWh Part 2 (tier 2) energy rate Minimum Energy Charge proposes that LGS customers pay a Minimum Energy Charge. The Minimum Energy Charge would equal the product of a minimum energy rate and total energy consumption in a month. It would apply only when the average energy rate in a billing period (Part 1 energy charge less plus Part 2 energy charge/credit plus charge for energy consumed below the lower Price Limit Band, all divided by total monthly energy consumption) is less than the minimum energy rate proposes that the minimum energy rate be set at 2.5 cents/kwh upon implementation, and be subject to annual class average rate changes (CARC) 3 from time to time. 3 Class average rate changes (CARC) can arise from any or all of the following: revenue requirement changes, rate rider changes, and cost of service rate re-balancing. Large General Service Rate Application 1-9 [Revision 2 January 22, 2010]

5 Chapter 1 - Application Migration between MGS and LGS Service proposes that MGS accounts with peak demand of 150 kw or greater, six or more times in any rolling 12-month period, would become subject to the LGS rate structure. An LGS account that had twelve consecutive months of peak demand less than 150 kw would become subject to the MGS rate structure. refers to this as the 6 up/12 down rule Migration between MGS and SGS Service SGS customers typically do not have a demand meter, and are billed bi-monthly. This is in contrast to ELGS customers, who in almost all circumstances have demand meters and are billed monthly proposes that an MGS account that had twelve consecutive months of peak demand less than 35 kw would become subject to the SGS rate structure. Such an account would continue to benefit from any service potential (primary or secondary) discount it was eligible for as an MGS account 7 and would also benefit from any transformer discount. Further, proposes that an SGS account would become subject to the MGS rate structure if in any twelve-month period it had billed demand of 35 kw or greater, three or more times. Because of bi-monthly billing of SGS customers, this proposal is roughly equivalent to the 6 up/12 down rule applicable at the 150 kw peak demand level The transformer discount available to ELGS customers would not be carried to the SGS service as there is no demand charge under the SGS rate schedules, and the transformer discount is applicable to demand charges only. s current business practice is to install a demand meter on any SGS account that consumes on average 600 kwh/day between meter reads. This business practice would not change, and results in having the necessary demand information to apply the proposed SGS-MGS migration rule.

27 Original Page For the remaining 10% of energy consumption in the Billing Period, the marginal cost based energy rate of per kw.h is applied. B. Energy Charge Customers with HBLs Energy Charges will be determined under this part for: 1. Customers for whom HBLs were determined by under the Special Conditions below at the time they commenced taking service under this rate schedule, and 2. Customers for whom HBLs were determined by under the Special Conditions below after completion of 12 consecutive months of service under this rate schedule. The Energy Charge is the Part 1 Energy Charge plus any additional charges or minus any credits determined under the Part 2 Energy Charge/Credit below. Part 1 Energy Charge The following rates are applied to the Customer s BBL for the Billing Period: [Tier 1 price] per kw.h is applied to the first 14,800 kw.h. of BBL [Tier 2 price] per kw.h is applied to all additional kw.h. of BBL Part 2 Energy Charge/Credit The determination of the Part 2 Energy Charge/Credit depends on whether energy consumption in the Billing Period is greater or less than the Customer s BBL for the Billing Period. Consumption greater than BBL For purposes of the following calculations, the difference between the BBL and the energy consumption for the Billing Period is defined as the Excess Energy Amount. Charge: 1. The marginal cost based energy rate of per kw.h is applied to the Excess Energy Amount subject to a maximum of 20% of the BBL.

28 Original Page [Tier 1 price] per kw.h is applied to the lesser of: (a) (b) the remaining portion of the Excess Energy Amount (if any) following step 1 above, and that portion of the Excess Energy Amount which is equal to 14,800 kw.h minus 120% of the BBL (but if the preceding calculation would produce a negative number, the result shall be deemed to be zero). Discounts 3. [Tier 2 price] per kw.h is applied to the remaining portion of the Excess Energy Amount (if any) following steps 1 and 2 above. Consumption less than BBL For purposes of the following calculations, the difference between the BBL and the energy consumption for the Billing Period is defined as the Energy Savings Amount. Credit: 1. The marginal cost based energy rate of per kw.h is applied to Energy Savings Amount subject to a maximum of 20% of the BBL. 2. [Tier 2 price] per kw.h is applied to the lesser of: (a) the remaining portion of the Energy Savings Amount (if any) following step 1 above, and (b) that portion of the Energy Savings Amount which is equal to 80% of the BBL minus 14,800 (but if the preceding calculation would produce a negative number, the result shall be deemed to be zero). 3. [Tier 1 price] per kw.h is applied to the remaining portion of the Energy Savings Amount (if any) following steps 1 and 2 above. 1. A discount of 1½% shall be applied to the above charges if a Customer's supply of electricity is metered at a primary potential. 2. A discount of 25 per billing period per kw of billing demand shall be applied to the above charges if a Customer supplies transformation from a primary potential to a secondary potential.

29 Original Page If a Customer is entitled to both of the above discounts, the discount for metering at a primary potential shall be applied first. Billing Codes: Schedule 1600 applies if a Customer's supply of electricity is metered at a secondary potential and supplies transformation from a primary potential to a secondary potential. Schedule 1601 Schedule 1610 Schedule 1611 applies if a Customer's supply of electricity is metered at a primary potential and supplies transformation from a primary potential to a secondary potential. applies if a Customer's supply of electricity is metered at a secondary potential and the Customer supplies transformation from a primary potential to a secondary potential. applies if a Customer's supply of electricity is metered at a primary potential and the Customer supplies transformation from a primary potential to a secondary potential. Billing Demand: The Billing Demand shall be the highest kw demand in the Billing Period. Minimum Energy Charge: The Minimum Energy Charge is the minimum energy rate of 2.5 cents per kw.h multiplied by the total energy consumption in the Billing Period. The Minimum Energy Charge applies only when the average energy rate in a Billing Period (the Energy Charge divided by total energy consumption in the Billing Period) is less than the minimum energy rate. Monthly Minimum Charge: 50% of the highest maximum Demand Charge billed in any Billing Period wholly within an on-peak period during the immediately preceding eleven Billing Periods. For the purpose of this provision an on-peak period commences on 1 November in any year and terminates on 31 March of the following year. Metering: A demand meter will normally be installed. Prior to the installation of such a meter, or if such a meter is not installed, the Billing Demand shall be estimated by.

30 Original Page Definitions: For purposes of this rate schedule, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms have the following meanings: Billing Period means a period of from 27 to 33 consecutive days between regular meter readings, provided that in cases where meter readings are not available or are delayed for any reason may vary the number of days in the Billing Period. month and monthly refers to calendar months year means a period of 12 consecutive calendar months. Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and similar designations means the first, second and third years that the Customer takes service under this rate schedule and for which HBLs have been determined by under the Special Conditions below, and so on as the context requires. Special Conditions: Determination of HBLs and BBLs: will determine monthly HBLs and BBLs for each Customer taking service under this rate schedule as specified in this part. 1. Baseline Determinations - General For Customers taking service under this rate schedule, other than Customers to whom A. Energy Charges Customers without HBLs applies, will determine Historical Baselines ( HBLs ) and Billing Baselines ( BBLs ) in accordance with these Special Conditions, for use in calculating the Energy Charge payable by the Customers for each Billing Period. The HBLs will be determined based on the Customers historical energy consumption each month, and the BBL will be determined from the Customers HBLs for the months that overlap the Billing Period, all as described in these Special Conditions.

31 2. Determination of Initial (Year 1) HBLs Original Page For Customers who were taking service under any of rate schedules 1200, 1201, 1210 or 1211 for 12 consecutive months or longer (the HBL Reference Period ) during all or part of the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 and who would have been eligible for service under this rate schedule during the HBL Reference Period, the Customers Year 1 HBLs will be determined as follows: (a) The Customers energy consumption during each Billing Period in the HBL Reference Period will be allocated to the months which overlap those Billing Periods as set out in section 6 of these Special Conditions. (b) The Customers HBLs will be determined for each month as the average of the energy consumption for the applicable months as referred to in (a) above. 2. For Customers to whom paragraph 1 is not applicable but who were taking service under any of rate schedules 1200, 1201, 1210 or 1211 for a period of 12 consecutive months or longer ending immediately prior to the date this rate schedule comes into effect and whose Billing Demand was equal to or greater than 150 kw in any one of the 12 most recent months, the Customers Year 1 HBLs will be determined as the amount of the Customers energy consumption during each month for the preceding 12 month period. For these purposes the Customers energy consumption during each Billing Period will be allocated to the months which overlap those Billing Periods as set out in section 4 of these Special Conditions. 3. For Customers to whom paragraphs 1 and 2 are not applicable but who were taking service under any of rate schedules 1500, 1501, 1510 or 1511 for a period of 12 consecutive months or longer immediately prior to becoming subject to this rate schedule in accordance with the Migration Rule below, the Customers Year 1 HBLs will be determined as the amount of the Customers energy consumption during each month for the preceding 12 month period. For these purposes the Customers energy consumption during each Billing Period will be allocated to the months which overlap those Billing Periods as set out in section 4 of these Special Conditions.

32 Original Page For Customers to whom paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable, the Customers Year 1 HBLs will be determined after the end of the first twelve months that the Customers take service. The HBLs will be determined as the amount of the Customers energy consumption during each month for the preceding 12 month period. For these purposes the Customers energy consumption during each Billing Period will be allocated to the months which overlap those Billing Periods as set out in section 4 of these Special Conditions. 3. Re-Determination of HBLs 1. Customers HBLs will be re-determined by as follows: (a) (b) (c) Year 2 HBLs will be determined as the sum of the Year 1 HBL and the Customer s energy consumption for that month during Year 1, divided by 2. Year 3 HBLs will be determined as the sum of the Year 1 HBL and the Customer s energy consumption for that month during Year 1 and Year 2, divided by 3. Year 4 HBLs and HBLs for each succeeding year of service will be determined on a 3-year rolling-average basis, being the sum of the Customer s energy consumption each month during the most recent 3 years of service under this rate schedule, divided by Pro-rating of Energy Consumption Data 1. For purposes of determining (or re-determining) Customers HBLs on a monthly basis, where energy consumption for Billing Periods in prior years is being used to determine the Customer s HBLs and any of the Billing Periods begins in one month and ends in a subsequent month, will pro-rate the energy consumption for each such Billing Period on a daily basis and allocate the pro-rated consumption to the respective overlapping months.

33 Original Page Adjustment for Anomalies 1. Despite anything in the preceding sections of these Special Conditions, if in making any determination or re-determination of a Customer s HBLs observes any anomaly in the historical energy consumption information that would otherwise be used in making the HBL determination, the Customer s HBLs shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with this paragraph. For these purposes an anomaly is defined to occur whenever, in cases where the HBLs are based on the most recent 2 or 3 years consumption, the consumption in a month is less than 50% of the next lowest consumption for that same month in either of the other 1 or 2 years, as the case may be. Subject to the restrictions in paragraph 2 below, whenever an anomaly occurs the lowest month s consumption shall be discarded for purposes of determining the HBL for that month, and the HBL shall be determined as the average of the remaining 1 or 2 months consumption as applicable. 2. No anomalies will be deemed to exist or be considered until after, for a given month, 2 years of consumption information is available for that month. Further, the maximum number of anomaly adjustments in a year, commencing on April 1 each year, shall be 2, and they shall be made in the order in which they appear. 6. Determination of BBLs 1. For purposes of applying the rates set forth in this rate schedule and issuing bills to Customers on a Billing Period basis, where a Billing Period begins in one month and ends in a subsequent month will determine the Customer s BBL for each Billing Period as follows. BC Hydro will calculate a daily HBL amount for each month which overlaps the Billing Period in question and will allocate the daily HBL amount to the Billing Period based on the number of days in each month which overlaps the Billing Period. The sum of the HBL amounts prorated to the Billing Period in accordance with the preceding is the Customer s BBL for that Billing Period.

34 Original Page Migration Rule. 1. Customers taking service at Medium General Service rates (rate schedules 1500, 1501, 1510 or 1511) will be moved to service at Large General Service rates (rate schedules 1600, 1601, 1610 or 1611) if the Customers Billing Demand in any 6 of the most recent 12 Billing Periods was equal to or greater than 150 kw. Customers taking service at Large General Service rates (rate schedules 1600, 1601, 1610 or 1611) will be moved to service at Medium General Service rates (rate schedules 1500, 1501, 1510 or 1511) if the Customers Billing Demand in each of the 12 most recent consecutive Billing Periods was less than 150 kw. Rate Rider: The Deferral Account Rate Rider as set out in Rate Schedule 1901 applies to all charges payable under this Rate Schedule, before taxes and levies.
