Much of it way above the market rate. How would that factor into our hydro rates? BC Hydro is making significant upgrades to its system. So why does BC Hydro need to buy any IPP power? Also, won't BC Hydro will need to upgrade its reservoir system, in order to accommodate all the intermittent IPP power? Those upgrades would also be partly funded by increases hydro rates.
