Low inflow hits Hydro
Profits from electricity dropping along with reservoir water levels
August 31, 2001
The Crown-owned utility reported yesterday that it earned $74 million for the
first quarter ending June 30, 2001, but that was $232 million lower than the
$306 million it earned for the same period last year.
The reason for the big drop in profits was the higher costs from increased
out-of-province energy purchases Hydro has had to make to conserve the low
reservoir levels due to record low snowpacks and subsequent lower inflows

B.C. Hydro's earnings far better than predicted
Utility shows a $74-million profit in first quarter
August 31, 2001
The Crown company's earnings are far better than Hydro predicted earlier this
year, when the utility tightened spending and warned it could lose money in 2001.
But they're in line with a more recent submission to B.C.'s finance ministry
in which the utility forecast a $375-million profit on the year thanks to
soaring electricity prices in United States markets early this fiscal year.

BP ethane fire threatens petrochemical production
Producers face disruption if blaze burns much longer
August 27,29,30, 2001
Sunday: A ball of fire flares up from a burning
natural gas plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.
Wednesday: Alberta's natural gas and petrochemical industries are keeping their fingers
crossed that the BP Canada ethane fire doesn't last much longer
Thursday: A raging fire at a Fort Saskatchewan gas plant will burn for at least 10
more days before crews try to extinguish the blaze. Ethane gas leaking from
a massive storage cavern at BP Canada burst into flames Sunday morning. The
company had initially planned to allow the fire to burn until all of the
nearly 500,000 barrels of ethane in the cavern were consumed. BP now
believes pressure in the cavern will have been sufficiently reduced to allow
the blaze to be safely extinguished. That could take 10 to 14 days.

Why is BC Hydro keeping alternative energy in the dark?
August 23, 2001
Hydro's reluctance to embrace alternatives is the
product of its corporate culture. Because it's a government monopoly, says Marc
Jaccard ... Hydro is often "subject to the whims of individual players",
especially premiers. Under Bill Vander Zalm, for example, it introduced the
PowerSmart conservation program. Now, thanks largely to the visions of Glen
"Megaproject" Clark, Hydro is plowing ahead with the controversial GSX pipeline
and plans to have it fuel several giant natural gas-fired power stations on
Vancouver Island.

Wind power cheaper than coal
August 24, 2001
CALGARY -- Wind power, often called a laudable but expensive energy source, may
actually cost less than half the price of traditional coal-fired electricity
when health and environmental costs are considered, a U.S. study has found.
Dawn Walton, Globe and Mail ... article
Exploiting Wind Versus Coal
Today, the direct and health and environmental costs of
wind energy are less than are those of coal energy. The United States could
displace 10% of coal energy at no net federal cost by spending 3 to 4% of 1
year's budget on 36,000 to 40,000 large wind turbines and selling the
electricity over 20 years. The authors ... recommend replacing
59% of coal energy with energy from 214,000 to 236,000 turbines, which would
allow the United States to meet Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gas targets as of 1999
and simultaneously to improve health, acid deposition, smog, and visibility
problems associated with coal.

Environment group fears N.W.T. pipeline hearings will be too narrow
August 23, 2001
Hearings on a proposed Mackenzie River valley gas pipeline will be too narrow
in scope, with no assurance of adequate public involvement, says the Canadian
Arctic Resources Centre, an environment group.
A leaked copy of a proposal to co-ordinate a review by a dozen northern
regulatory and government agencies shows that it will be limited to just the
pipeline, centre spokesman Kevin O'Reilly said Wednesday. It should also examine
oil and gas development that the pipeline will encourage, he said.

Giant Pipeline From Canada Hits a New Snag
August 23, 2001
The proposed Millennium Pipeline, the longest natural gas line under review in the nation,
has suffered another setback with the announced withdrawal last week of its Canadian backers
because of the project's repeated delays in winning approval in the United States.
In a letter to Canadian energy regulators, the sponsors said they had decided
to withdraw their application, at least for now, while they update technical
information for the Canadian segment of the project and await a decision from
United States regulators on the New York end.

B.C. freezes hydro rates for 18 months

Dick Gathercole of the BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre worried that the plan will

Commission. While B.C. Hydro is regulated by the commission, it can escape such
scrutiny if it does not change its rates. "It's totally contrary to what they

Queen Charlottes drilling: Too many strings attached
August 18, 2001
CALGARY -- The main hurdle facing supporters of oil and gas
production in the waters off the Queen Charlotte Islands won't be the West
Coast's environmental movement.
While much has been made of how "green" protesters will do whatever they can
to block offshore drilling near the Queen Charlottes, the energy industry will
be even more concerned about something basic: It won't be profitable enough to
warrant pushing ahead.

The next gas crisis
August 10, 2001
North America is still using more gas than it is finding. Concerted conservation
drives and a softer economy may temporarily mask ever-dwindling supplies. A
prolonged cold snap, though, could remind us of the reality sooner rather than
later. You can count on rising prices to definitely affect your home and
business heating bills—or your portfolio—early next year as natural gas abandons
its image as a cheap staple and becomes, for better or worse, a premium good on
the North American market.

B.C. Hydro's profit estimate higher than under NDP

Electricity regulation slowly nears end in Texas
July 23, 2001
In a state where air-conditioning is a way of life and widespread
manufacturing and technology gobble up power, electric bills are serious stuff.
Texans in recent years have paid roughly 12 percent below the national average
for each kilowatt-hour they use. With a stroke of then-Gov. Bush's pen in 1999,
electric rates were frozen in place. Lawmakers ordered rates to hold steady for
two years, then drop by 6 percent once deregulation kicks in.
