BC Hydro searching for new renewable electricity to power 270,000 homes starting as early as 2028
The Crown utility in charge of generating and delivering electricity in British Columbia says the province is going to need enough new power to run 270,000 homes starting as early as 2028.
Premier David Eby told a news conference Thursday that the forecast that calls for the additional 3,000 gigawatt hours per year of renewable energy is three years earlier than previously estimated. BC Hydro says the company expects to launch a call for more power in the spring of 2024, so it can have new sources as early as 2028.Eby said the former standing offer program forced BC Hydro to often buy power from producers at a price that was much higher than the market rate, whether the utility needed it or not.
A government statement says work will be done to design a call for power that includes a minimum First Nations ownership in the project.
