Compare EPR Proposals — BC Strata Compliance Checklist
Strata corporations of five or more lots in BC must obtain an Electrical Planning Report by December 31, 2026 (Metro Van / FVRD / CRD) or December 31, 2028 (rest of BC). Not all proposals cover the same scope. Use this 16-item checklist to compare what's actually included.

| PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS & ACCOUNTABILITY | |||
| Report Sealed by a P.Eng Registered with EGBC Under BC OIC 497-2025, a Professional Engineer (P.Eng) registered with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia is a Qualified Person to prepare an Electrical Planning Report for both Part 3 (complex) and Part 9 (simple) buildings. A P.Eng-sealed report carries full professional accountability across all BC strata building types. SPA Reg. 5.10OIC 497-2025EGBC | |||
| STRATA PROPERTY ACT — EPR MANDATORY CONTENT (Reg. 5.11) | |||
| On-Site Inspection of All Electrical & Mechanical Infrastructure Physical inspection of electrical rooms, switchgear, transformers, and panels. Desktop-only reviews miss critical constraints and aging equipment. SPA Reg. 5.11BC Hydro EPR Guide | |||
| Electrical Drawings & Strata Plan Pulled from the Municipality Original electrical drawings and strata plans retrieved directly from the municipality on the strata's behalf, ensuring calculations are based on the legal as-built configuration rather than guesswork. Due Diligence | |||
| BC Hydro 12-Month Consumption Data Analysis Actual demand data determines true peak demand and spare capacity, rather than code-based estimates alone, which often overstate available capacity. SPA Reg. 5.11CEC 8-200 | |||
| Peak Demand, Spare Capacity & Load Diversity Calculations Accurate analysis per CEC Rules 8-200 to 8-210 with load diversity factors determines how much capacity is truly available before triggering expensive utility upgrades. SPA Reg. 5.11CEC 8-200–8-210 | |||
| Future Electrification Scenarios (EV + Heat Pumps + DHW) The Strata Property Act requires modelled estimates of capacity for future demands. A compliant report must cover multiple scenarios — not just EV charging alone. SPA Reg. 5.11(2)(d) | |||
| Gas-to-Electric Conversion Estimates Estimated electrical capacity required to convert systems currently powered by gas or other non-electric sources to electric alternatives. SPA Reg. 5.11(2)(c) | |||
| Demand Management & Load Reduction Recommendations Mandated strategies (LED upgrades, load scheduling, EVEMS) can free up significant capacity and defer or eliminate the need for costly service upgrades. SPA Reg. 5.11(2)(e) | |||
| Upgrade Recommendations with Estimated Capacity Freed Specific upgrades or modifications to increase capacity, with the exact amount of electrical capacity each action would free up identified. SPA Reg. 5.11(2)(f) | |||
| BC HYDRO EV READY PLAN & REBATE ELIGIBILITY | |||
| EV Ready Plan Bundled with the EPR Combining the EVRP with the EPR keeps the engagement faster and more cost-effective. After July 15, 2026, an EVRP, an EPR, or an Opportunity Assessment Report becomes mandatory to access standalone MURB charger rebates. BC Hydro Program | |||
| 100% EV Ready Strategy & Parking/Conduit Layout Detailed plan to install EV charging capability in every residential parking stall, including specific conduit routing reviews for charger installation. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| EVEMS Evaluation & Charging Performance Assessment Evaluates Energy Management Systems (EVEMS) to optimize charging within existing capacity, plus charging performance per vehicle based on climate and demographics. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| Phased Implementation Plan with Itemized Cost Estimates BC Hydro requires a recommended solution with cost estimates for budgeting. A phased plan gives the strata a clear, fundable roadmap. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| BC Hydro Rebate Application Prepared & Submitted on Your Behalf All documentation and submission for the EV Ready Plan rebate (up to $3,000) and the EV charging infrastructure rebate (up to $120,000) handled by the consultant — so the strata captures every dollar available. BC Hydro Rebate Program | |||
| ADDITIONAL VALUE — THE CF ELECTRICAL DIFFERENCE | |||
| Utility Service Upgrade Feasibility & Cost Assessment If the building needs more capacity, feasibility and cost of a BC Hydro service upgrade is assessed — a critical step many providers skip, leaving stratas with unexpected six-figure costs. | |||
| Strata Council Board Presentation Findings presented directly to council and owners in plain language, building consensus for investment decisions and answering technical questions in the room. | |||
