Notice:

Our name has changed! We’re now known as the BC Energy Regulator (BCER) and you can find us at www.bc-er.ca. This name change is part of legislation that also modernizes our board structure and will expand our mandate later this year. For more information, see the provincial government’s news release. Check back regularly as we continue making updates to our webpages to reflect these changes.
