Regulatory Approval

On March 30, 2012 the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse Upgrade Project.

The decision means BC Hydro may now begin construction on the significant upgrades, creating economic opportunities for local businesses and generating about 175 jobs a year during the project's six years of construction.
