Acquiring Power
About Independent Power Projects
Power provided by B.C.-located projects developed by Independent Power Producers (IPPs) is a key part of the 2007 BC Energy Plan's strategy to ensure electricity self-sufficiency for B.C. by 2016.
IPPs provide an efficient source of electricity through the development of power projects using fuel sources such as wind, water, geothermal, biomass and waste heat. IPPs include private companies, municipalities, First Nations and customers, working alone or in partnership.
