Questions on the Request for Proposals ("RFP"), the RFP process and related documents issued during the call process, and BC Hydro's responses, are posted online.

First Nations
Working with First Nations and advancing economic reconciliation is a priority for us. New to the 2025 Call is the First Nations Clean Energy Representative, a resource to help ensure that First Nations are meaningfully informed, supported and engaged throughout the procurement process.
Interested parties can review reference information on concerns raised by First Nations that they should be aware of in their consultations. Note that neither the list of concerns nor the list of First Nations who raised them are exhaustive.
