British Columbia Utilities Commission

This decision addresses an application by FortisBC Energy Utilities (FEU) for the removal of a restriction on the location of FEU’s data and servers. FEU are currently restricted from locating their data and servers outside of Canada unless the Commission consents to a specific application by FEU to do so. FEU’s application is to remove the restriction but include a requirement that specific data be encrypted or de-identified, as a security and privacy measure, if stored outside of Canada and that the keys to the encryption and de-identification would be stored in Canada.
