A province built on hydroelectric power
In the two decades that followed the creation of BC Hydro in 1961, B.C. undertook some of the most ambitious hydroelectric construction projects in the world. These large-scale dams, notably on the Peace and Columbia rivers, provide an electricity supply to British Columbians that is 90% clean.
B.C.'s existing hydroelectric projects, however, will not be enough to meet anticipated demand. Today, we already consume more electricity than we generate and we buy more electricity than we sell. We have had to lean increasingly on imported electricity – not all of it clean – to meet our demands.
