efforts could support government policy as listed in the 2010 BC Clean Energy Act (Bill
17).
In addition, Marbek was directed to conduct a commercial end use study as part of the 2010
CPR. This study analyzed the energy usage behaviour exhibited by small and large commercial
customers by sector, including apartment/condo strata corporations, commercial/office,
education, health care, restaurants, and wholesale/retail.
13.3 Results Delivery
The contract to conduct the CPR was awarded in August 2010 with work beginning in
September 2010. Field work was conducted through October and November 2010. The draft
Reference Case, Technology and Economic Potential chapters were produced in December
2010. Achievable potential workshops were held in January 2011. The final CPR report is
expected to be completed at the end of March 2011.
When it is completed, the updated 2010 CPR will form the primary basis of the Companies’ EEC
funding requests for 2012 and beyond, and will be used as a reference document for program
development.
Due to the finalization of the CPR study being so close to the submission date of this Report, it
is not possible to include a discussion of the study’s results here; however, the final CPR report
will be submitted as an appendix to the Companies’ upcoming Revenue Requirement
Application.
