| The mandate of the IPPBC is to develop a viable independent power industry in British Columbia that serves the public interest by providing cost-effective electricity through the efficient and environmentally responsible development of the Province's energy resources. Since 1992, the IPPBC has been the voice of IPPs in BC, to government and the public - when the members have chosen to send a collective signal. Members and non members also send their own corporate signals. Frequently, due to BC’s monopsonistic industry structure, many members have requested the IPPBC to voice their concerns and frustrations. Also, government policy makers invite IPPBC input as they prefer principle-driven (vs project-driven) perspectives and the efficiency and fairness of finding an industry consensus position.
IPPBC has been active in advocacy with government electricity policy formulation, regulatory processes, permitting procedures, BC Hydro procurement, BCTC services, media coverage, informing the public, local and First Nations governments and resource users throughout BC.
