Transmission news archive
The new Clean Energy Act consolidated BC Hydro and BC Transmission Corporation, as of July 5, 2010, to provide a single entity that plans and delivers the clean energy required to meet British Columbia’s growing demand for electricity.
After July 5, all transmission-related news releases will be posted in bchydro.com's media centre. The archives below only cover news releases published by the BCTC before that date, and the majority of releases are in PDF format.
