FortisBC Energy Inc. (FortisBC) has received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for its proposed Okanagan Capacity Mitigation Project (OCMP). Through this project, FortisBC will help meet future energy demand on the coldest days of the year in the Okanagan region, starting in the winter of 2026/27.
The OCMP will involve construction of a small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and send-out facility in Kelowna.
Fasken advised FortisBC with a team led by Tariq Ahmed, and included Matthew Ghikas.
