What is the Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands Request for Proposals (HG/QCI RFP)?
The HG/QCI RFP is a power acquisition process intended to obtain viable, cost-effective and reliable electricity supply solutions for Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands. Haida Gwaii’s electricity needs are currently served by two separate generation and distribution systems. Power is provided to the northern grid by BC Hydro’s diesel generating system in Masset; the southern grid receives power from EPCOR’s hydroelectric plant contracted to BC Hydro. Back-up power is generated at BC Hydro’s diesel generation station in Sandspit. Displacement of diesel generation in remote communities and non-integrated areas, where it can be done economically, is an objective in the 2007 BC Energy Plan and also aligns with the environmental objectives of local residents. BC Hydro is seeking input on the draft RFP documents and process from the Haida Nation, other First Nations and stakeholders on the draft RFP documents and process. The draft documents were released on November 6, 2008 and can be foun
