Your Worship and Council:

Over the past year, BC Hydro has been in contact with all the
municipalities in our service area regarding Municipal Energy Efficiency. Our
initial contact was a two-fold approach. The municipalities received a letter
from John P. Sheehan, Vice-President of Customer Services explaining the
Municipal Energy Efficiency Policy and asking that the policy be considered
for adoption. We also offered each municipality a comp]imentary Municipal
Energy audit of a municipal facility of your choise to demonstrate potential
electrical energy savings. In your municipality, the Port: Coquitlam
Recreation Centre was audited and showed potential savings of $16,780
annually. We are currently following up your audit with Mr. Tom Jackson,
Arena Supervisor to review what savings have been achieved to date.

When the results of your audit were presented to Council, the
municipality was asked to adopt an Energy Efficiency Policy. To date over 50
municipalities have adopted the policy and the numbers continue to grow.
These municipalities have recognized the need to have a consistent policy in
place to ensure that all levels of their organization are committed to energy
efficiency. . .

Enclosed with this letter is the Municipal Energy Efficiency Policy,
typical of the statement being adopted by many B.C. Municipalities. [t
outlines the policy and performance standards we would like to see you adopt.
BC Hydro will continue to work closely with your staff to make this policy
easy to implement and adapt it to your needs.

We ask your Council to consider adoption of the Municipal Energy
Efficiency Policy at your earliest convenience. Our Power Smart Marketing
Representative, Doug Fraser at 293-7772 would be pleased to answer any
questions you may have concerning this or other Power Smart information.

Yours truly,

& LyS¥K
