BC Hydro Meter Choice Program - Interested Party Registration

BC Hydro Meter Choice Program - Interested Party Registration


This letter is addressed to INTERVENERS and INTERESTED PARTIES from the BCUC Commissioner with information regarding participation in the BC Hydro Meter Choice Program proceeding.

Within the letter, it states:

" . . . This Direction requires that the Commission review BC Hydro's proposed charges associated with opting out of its Smart Meter program. Accordingly, on October 7, 2013, our office received an application from BC Hydro. Following this, the Commission approved the proposed charges on an interim and refundable basisand established a regulatory timetable to provide for a full review of the application and fees . . . "

This suggests there is a chance that BC Hydro's charge of a $35.00 opt-out fee will only be charged for a short, interim period and then be refunded IF BCUC rules to rescind it. This is especially relevant for those who have agreed prematurely to the fees against their wishes.
