Consultant Outlines Rural Wildfire Risks for Regional District Board
- On May 20, FortisBC provided the British Columbia Utilities Commission with details of its policy to proactively interrupt electrical service as a wildfire precaution, following a pause in their recent safety initiatives.
- The submission followed the BCUC postponement of FortisBC's new safety measures and community backlash in the Southern Interior.
- The policy intends to proactively cut power in wildfire-prone areas during extremely hot, dry summer days to protect communities and infrastructure.
- FortisBC found only one qualifying weather event for PSPS in ten years and said, "FortisBC's goal is always to keep the power on" with rare use expected.
- The policy is currently on hold while awaiting review by the BCUC, as FortisBC prepares to host information sessions and commits to evaluating various factors before implementing any PSPS events.
