Your energy future is secure here.
- Reliable, renewable, and low-cost hydroelectric power supplies
almost 90 per cent of British Columbia’s electricity needs (the balance is
mainly natural gas-fired power)
- A robust transmission and distribution system delivers uninterrupted
power to all regions of the province. The BC Hydro system has an Average System
Availability Index of 99.97 per cent
- British Columbia is also rich in natural gas (we are Canada’s second largest producer), oil, coal-bed methane and coal
- The province’s Energy Plan is promoting development of
alternative power sources, such as wind, biomass and “run of the river” hydroelectric
generation, as well as conventional sources
