Reservoir will take four months to fill, first generator to turn on in December
Nearly a decade ago, in the summer of 2015, work began on the Site C hydro-electric dam in the Peace River Valley.
The dam project is currently about 87 per cent complete. Peak employment was reached in June last year with 6,000 workers. That workforce was down by half to 3,000 in June this year. That review concluded that construction was too far along to kill the project without incurring a $4-billion write-off and an immediate 12 per cent BC Hydro rate increase. Horgan reluctantly approved the project again in 2017.
But since then, the B.C. government introduced electrification requirements under its CleanBC plan for everything from transportation to the natural gas and LNG industry, which will mean an increased demand for clean electricity.
