B-C Hydro is getting some more time to develop its integrated resource plan, which will lay out how it plans to meet BC's electricity needs for the next 20 years.
The utility was supposed to submit the plan by December third, but that deadline has been extended until August third.
The Energy Ministry says the extension is needed because power supply deals are still being worked out with proponents of liquid natural gas plants on the north coast.
This is the second time Hydro has been given an extension to submit the plan.
