For 2004/2005, BC Hydro's energy costs were impacted by increased customer demand due to improved economic conditions in the province. Lower than average water flows meant increased reliance on energy purchases as BC Hydro responded to the increased demand and managed reservoir levels. Combined with high energy prices in the region, the cost of energy increased significantly as a result.
