Darren Kahl, Executive Vice-President, Site C

Darren joined the Site C project team in 2015 and was named Executive Vice President in July 2022. In this role, he holds overall responsibility for the delivery of BC Hydro's largest capital project, a third dam and hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeast B.C.

Darren joined at BC Hydro in 1992 as a Graduate Engineer-in-Training. Prior to joining Site C, he was the General Manager of Generation Operations where he led the team to meet the availability, reliability, and maintenance performance standards for BC Hydro's fleet of hydroelectric and thermal plants.

Before that, as Director of Generation Engineering, Darren led the team that implemented the Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) system with the Generation Engineering Group. PPM is an enterprise-level solution to manage and implement major capital projects all across BC Hydro which BC Hydro continues to use today on its projects including Site C.

Darren is proud to be leading the incredible team that's working to safely complete the Site C project on time and on budget. Site C is a once-in-a-generation project that will be instrumental in supporting our Electrification Plan and contribute to building a sustainable economy in B.C.
