EN33(1) Use of EcoLogo

Print This Page

The Environmental Choice Program (ECP) has been adopted as BC Hydro's third party certification process to evaluate Independent Power Producers (IPP) clean and/or green power facilities. The ECP uses renewable low-impact criteria to assess existing and new IPP facilities. Facilities meeting ECP criteria for electricity will be eligible to use the EcoLogo mark, indicating their facilities generate "clean and/or green power." ECP has criteria to assess water-powered, biogas-fuelled, biomass-fuelled, solar-powered and wind-powered generators. The evaluation occurs when the facility is operational which means that not only is the facility required to meet existing provincial regulatory requirements, but must demonstrate that it operates in an environmentally responsible manner as well.
