note: >-
  BC Hydro publishes no API versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no API SLA,
  no API changelog and no API status page — because it publishes no API. What it
  does publish is a regulated utility lifecycle: BCUC-approved tariffs, terms and
  conditions of service, and a consumer outage map for the electricity service
  itself. Those are recorded here so the absence is explicit, not implied.
versioning:
  scheme: none
  current: null
  published_by_provider: false
  docs: null
  note: >-
    Neither the Green Button / CSV export nor the undocumented outage-map JSON
    feed carries a version, and no ESPI version is published.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy exists for any data surface. The outage-map
    JSON feed is undocumented, so it can change or be withdrawn with no notice at
    all. No `Deprecation` pointer is emitted.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No API SLA. Service reliability for electricity supply is regulated by the
    BCUC under the electric tariff, which is a different thing entirely.
status_page: null
status_page_note: >-
  No API or platform status page exists. https://www.bchydro.com/power-outages/app/outage-map.html
  (HTTP 200) is a consumer electricity-outage map — the operational status of the
  power system, not of a developer platform — and its backing JSON feed is
  undocumented. Emitting a `StatusPage` pointer for it would misrepresent an
  outage map as an API status surface, so none is wired.
service_status_surfaces:
- url: https://www.bchydro.com/power-outages/app/outage-map.html
  kind: consumer electricity outage map
  machine_readable_backing: https://www.bchydro.com/power-outages/app/outages-map-data.json
  documented_as_api: false

  kind: customer outage reporting form
  documented_as_api: false
regulatory_lifecycle:
  tariffs: https://www.bchydro.com/toolbar/about/strategies-plans-regulatory/tariffs-terms-conditions.html
  tariff_note: >-
    Terms, conditions and pricing are set out in BCUC-approved tariffs (the
    Electric Tariff), amended through regulatory proceedings rather than through a
    product changelog.
  regulator: https://www.bcuc.com/
  transmission_postings: >-
    Pursuant to BCUC Order G-127-06, economic test results are posted daily and
    Network Economy / Non-Firm utilization reports weekly at
    https://www.bchydro.com/energy-in-bc/operations/transmission/transmission-scheduling/transaction-data.html —
    documents on a published cadence, not feeds.
