Subject: KEMANO II - NEW ALCAN DEMANDS
From: John Hummel, Researcher
Here are a list of Alcan Demands leaked from a B.C. Government
Briefing Package! We don't think Alcan is entitled to a penny!
LIST OF ITEMS PROPOSED BY ALCAN
1. Compensation for the initial investment of $535M Alcan has
invested in the project and loss of future revenue.
2. Reimburse Alcan for the cost incurred during its participation
in the BCUC public review ($5,756,644 on 31 October 1994)
3. Unjust enrichment of $173M of taxes on the part of the
government as a result of the $535M invested by Alcan.
4. Option for a long-term power contract up to 285 MW at
attractive rates to permit expansion of the aluminum industry
in British Columbia in the future.
5. Resolve the Nanika-Kidprice issue.
6. Maximization of the Kemano 1 output.
7. Alcan is prepared to enter into discussions with other
stakeholders on downstream allocations of water flows insofar
as its entitlement as set out in the 1987 Settlement Agreement
is preserved.
