BC Hydro Quick Facts
One of the largest electric utilities in Canada BC Hydro serves more than 1.7 million
customers, 94% of BCs population Between 43,000 - 54,000 gigawatt hours
(GWh) of electricity are produced annually 99.96% Reliability Rate British Columbians enjoy some of the
lowest electricity rates in North America (third only to Manitoba and Quebec)
Procurement Needs: Refurbishment of fleet, unit additions and system infrastructure Anticipate investing $3 - $5b over next 5 yrs into capital investments A significant increase from historic levels of $150M/yr* (figure from F07s Generation Strategic Asset Plan)

BC Hydros Current Asset Mix
BC Hydros Plant Assets are organized into three categories:
1. Large Facilities Account for 80% of generation (e.g. GM Shrum, Bridge River, Mica)
2. Strategic Facilities Account for 18% of generation and are part of a larger river system program (multi plants e.g. John Hart, Ruskin, Strathcona)
3. Available Energy Account for 2% of generation (e.g. Aberfeldie, Elko, Shuswap)

APPRECIATE market conditions ACTIVATE
Strategic Sourcing
ALLOCATE RISK Deploying risk sharing, risk transfer & incentives to align interest
ACTTo become a customer of choice
AUTOMATE& Simplify Commodity Purchasing
Add capacity & increase value through supply chain
> Look for value added from suppliers
> Move away from lowest bid logic in favour of Total lifecycle value
Engage the market: > Plan early and proactively
engage the market at all stages
Exercise more procurement methods : one size does not fit all
> Think more commercially and strategically about procurement packages, form and terms
How do we Mitigate Risk?
APPLY- broader value assessment
APPRECIATE to position attractive

Procurement Risks
Significant Fluctuations in certain Commodity Prices Longer Lead Times Tight Demand / Supply Balance Availability of Skilled Labour, Construction, and PM Services Constantly Evolving Supplier Landscape (i.e. consolidation)/ Small
vendor pool supplying to a global market. Global Competition to Secure Supply Contractors are Placing Larger Premiums to Assume Risk/ Restrictive
Lending practices may impact access to capital. Aged Electrical Utility Network (fewer niche suppliers) Sourcing as a Crown Corporation under Current Market Conditions Balancing Project Procurement Priorities BCHs most critical asset is its Planned Outages, these are key drivers in
establishing Project timelines and vendor deliverables (to site)
