INTRODUCTION
Structure of Canada’s Power Industry
The Canadian power industry is characterized by
province-wide, crown corporations that service all
customers in their respective province. Alberta and
British Columbia are exceptions to this structure.
Each of these provinces is divided between two
competing companies, each serving a large portion of
the population. Alberta is further complicated by
deregulation of power in that province. A map of
Alberta and British Columbia and the service areas for
each of the principal companies is included in this
section.
Generally, the power company owns and operates
the generating capacity which supplies power to the
grid within the province. The company sells the
power, either directly to customers or to municipalities
within the province, who then distribute it to
individual customers. In remote locations, where a
municipality does not exist, as in the case of most new
mines in Canada, the provincial power company may
provide power directly to the consumer.
In the tables that follow, the principal industrial
rates that would apply to mining operations are listed
by company and by province. In general, rates for
consumers with demand usage greater than 50 KW are
included. At the other end of the scale, rates for
demand exceeding 5,000 KW are included in some
cases. In the smaller or more sparsely populated
provinces, generating capacity may not be available to
supply power at these higher demand levels. A new
mine requiring these demand levels would have to
negotiate with the power company to determine the
cost and availability of power.

In general Canadian electrical company rate
structures are similar to those of their U.S.
counterparts. Bills are computed on a monthly basis.
All billings include a demand billing and an energy
charge, which reflects the total monthly power use.
All charges in the Canadian schedules that follow are
in Canadian dollars.
Power Options in Remote Locations
In northern Canada, power availability may be limited
or nonexistent. A company planning a new mining
operation will have two options in this case,
construction of a company owned hydropower plant or
installation of a diesel generating plant. Deciding
which would best serve a given project requires
consideration of the probable life of the mine, project
power requirements, and estimation of capital and
operating costs of the power plant.
If feasible, hydropower generation is generally the
most attractive alternative for a long term project.
Although capital costs are typically greater, lower
operating costs during the life of the project offset the
larger initial investment.
Increased difficulty in obtaining construction
permits is also of concern when considering this
option. Even in remote areas in Canada, objections
raised by special interest groups or citizens may stall
development for several years. In contrast, diesel
plants are cheaper to build and raise fewer
environmental concerns, but they are considerably
more expensive to operate.

INTRODUCTION (continued)
For instance the cost of hydropower is as low as
$0.1165/KWH in Fort Smith but a diesel plant in
Colville Lake costs $2.1529/KWH to operate.
When calculating the required plant capacity for
self generating plants in northern Canada, concern
about freeze up makes it necessary to install much
larger plants than would be required in less severe
climates. In the dead of winter, a shut down of a few
hours may endanger lives or equipment.
In the Northwest Territories, standard municipal
planning requires that generation capacity be equal to
two times the peak load plus 115 percent of the draw
of the largest connected motor.
Power Deregulation in Canada
As in the U.S., power deregulation is being considered
province by province. Two provinces have
implemented plans to date; Alberta and Ontario. In

both instances the generation, transmission, and
distribution facilities have been separated from the
power sellers. The transmission and distribution
services are usually fixed and the energy charges are
allowed to float in a market environment. Actual
energy costs are determined using hourly or daily
average market rates.
However, in both of the provinces which have
deregulated their electric power industries, default
energy providers are also present. These are firms that
remain regulated by the local utility boards and for
whom rates are set periodically.
