System Constraints is defined in the 2020 TPA as “…any outage, suspension, constraint or curtailment in the operation of the BC Hydro System or the Transmission System, including forced outages on the BC Hydro System, forced outages on the Transmission System, and constraints arising as a result of minimum or maximum generation requirements or environmental, regulatory or reservoir management requirements…”. 59 In summary, a Non-Flexible Import Schedule is a schedule of electricity from Powerex to BC Hydro, at BC Hydro’s request, for the purposes of serving Domestic Requirements. An example of a Non-Flexible Import would be a request from BC Hydro to import during cold days in winter to meet high peak loads.
