    The Draft Greenest City Action Plan includes an action to develop a building deconstruction policy. The City is piloting a building deconstruction project and is exploring options for an incentive program to encourage deconstruction.

    A good idea, but impossible for the City of Vancouver alone to implement. Vancouver residents procure their power from BC Hydro, and the City grid cannot easibly be differentiated from the rest of the Lower Mainland grid.

    Plus, time of use rates are best applied in thermal or nuke-based power systems, where there is little ability to increase beyond a certain ceiling, and where power plants are not easy to "turn down" or up. One benefit of being on a predominantly hydro-based system is that it is almost "instant on"; open the penstocks, the water flows into the turbines, and power is generated.
