Electricity Supply Aggregating Reporting Tools

Last updated on March 25, 2024

Part 3 fuel suppliers can act as agents for other Part 3 fuel suppliers, to aggregate credits for trading on the credit market, by completing a Representation Agreement Form to inform the Ministry of the agreement between the “receiving” Part 3 fuel supplier (Aggregator) and the “transferring” Part3 fuel supplier (Supplier). Suppliers retain all legal responsibilities associated with their compliance with the Act and Regulation.

An Aggregator can have credits from Part 3 fuels suppliers transferred into their TFRS account and therefore must themselves be a Part 3 fuel supplier.

The Aggregator must submit all Electricity Supply Aggregating Reporting Tools by March 31, following each compliance year, to have credits validated and transferred into their account. All documentation must be submitted to lcfs@gov.bc.ca.
