Renewable Facility Area (Proposed)

Renewable Facility Areas are polygon features defining the spatial extent of New, Permissioned, Additional or Replacement land required for renewable energy development activities within an application. This dataset contains polygon features for applications collected through the BC Energy Regulator's Application Management System (AMS) and supports application review and decision-making. Data Properties Attributes / Column Name Field Alias Data Type Data Precision Comments OBJECTID Object ID Unique row value assigned by database SHAPE Geometry (Polygon) RFA_NUM Renewable Facility Activity Number Text 9 Unique business identifier for a Renewable Facility Application. LAND_AREA_NUMBER Land Area Number Long 10 Nine-digit identifier representing all land for a particular activity. APPLICATION_NUMBER Application Number Long 10 System-generated nine-digit number assigned to the application for all activities and land being applied for within an application. APPLICATION_TYPE Application Type Text 40 Type of application submitted by the applicant to the Regulator’s Automated Management System, e.g., New OGAA, Amendment, New CER related. APPLICATION_STATUS Application Status Text 40 Status of the application prior to Approval (In Review, In Revision, Submitted, Approved) AREA_TYPE Area Type Text 40 This is the area type that is represented. E.g., New Land, Permissioned, Replacement. APPLICATION_SUBMITTED_DATE Application Submitted Date Date 0 Date the application is submitted to the Regulator by the applicant REVISION_NUMBER Revision Number Short 5 Number of times the application has been altered prior to approval APPLICATION_DETERMINATION_NUM Application Determination Number Text 9 Upon decision, all activities permissioned will be referenced under an application determination number PROPONENT Proponent Text 60 Organization name of the applicant AUTHORITY_TYPE Authority Type Text 4 Type of authorization issued by the Regulator. Authorizations are issued either under the Oil and Gas Activities Act (OGAA) / Energy Resources Activities Act (ERAA) or the National Energy Board (NEB) / Canada Energy Regulator (CER), e.g., OGAA, Canada Energy Regulator (CER), Energy Resources Activities Act (ERAA).
