BC Hydro Green Power Certificates (GPCs) offer one of the ways for organizations to meet their sustainability targets. Each GPC represents the environmental attributes of generating one megawatt-hour of EcoLogo™ Certified green power. GPCs are offered to BC Hydro's institutional, commercial and industrial customers.

During fiscal 2008, BC Hydro decided to halt new GPC sales while an internal task team concluded a complete review of the program. Changes in the regulatory and legal framework, and new policies under the 2007 BC Energy Plan created the need for this review. However, BC Hydro will still honour existing contracts and commitments until their expiry date.
