To do that, we need to examine all of the generation "options available and to work with our customers to better understand their reliability needs. We're also targeting our maintenance and investments on those parts of our system _ that most need improvement. “WHAT BC HYDRO IS DOING TO ENSURE LOW-COST POWER British Columbians enjoy the third-lowest electricity rates in North America. Our plan is to maintain that competitive advantage, by promoting Power Smart as an important and cost-effective part of the solution. By buying energy from independent producers through open and competitive processes: By making the most of electricity trading opportunities and constantly searching for better and. more efficient ways of doing what we do. WHAT BC HYDRO IS DOING TO ENSURE OUR LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS At BC Hydro, our long-term goal is to ensure that we “ minimize our impact on the environment. For example, we have low greenhouse gas emissions. We have made a commitment to meet half of B.C’’s new energy needs through clean generation sources. We work constructively | with communities on water use and other conservation plans. Our Power Smart conservation initiative leads the * world in promoting reduced consumption. Naturally, we can do even more. And we intend to. WWW.BCHYDRO.COM 1-800-661-8683 / e power at low cost for generations to come. Meeting that challenge presents province ‘s growing energy needs. With your involvement, RELIABLE POWER THE CHOICES WE FACE TOGETHER We bélieve that B.C. should be energy self suitticient and that our plan to invest in greater reliability is a good one. Demand for electricity continues to grow at roughly 2% every year. To be energy self-sufficient and to meet our rising demand, we have to make some choices and decisions together. We'd like to hear your thoughts. LOW-COST POWER THE CHOICES WE.FACE TOGETHER: We need to decide together what type of energy we want to use to generate electricity. New energy resources can - take along time to become operational ~8 to 10 years is not uncommon. Sometimes it’s hard to anticipate all of the costs associated with 50-year investments, especially environmental costs. Are we prepared to invest in more expensive clean generation today to avoid other costs tomorrow? What generating resources are we willing to accept in our communities? OUR ENERGY FUTURE. | THE CHOICES WE FACE TOGETHER Another long-term goal we've set is to encourage a significant and permanent reduction in the amount of electricity consumed in B.C. We know we can all consume less. Yet a typical B.C. home today uses about 6% more electricity than in 1995. If we all reduced our consumption by 20% it would reduce the need for new generation sources and make a huge contribution to protecting our environment. Is that a change we're all prepared to make?
