BC Hydro seeks baseload power boost from stable sources

  • BC Hydro announced on June 4, 2025, in Vancouver that it seeks to expand stable baseload electricity capacity in British Columbia.
  • This initiative follows a drought that forced BC Hydro to import 13,600 gigawatt hours of power, about 22% of the province's electricity in 2024.
  • The utility issued two requests: one for geothermal or hydroelectric projects to boost baseload power and another for market-ready technologies for conservation in homes.
  • Energy Minister Adrian Dix stated that the initiatives seek to align British Columbia’s growth with reliable and cost-effective electricity, while BC Hydro describes renewable sources like wind and solar as dependent on variable conditions beyond control.
  • The requests suggest BC Hydro aims to reduce dependence on imports and support long-term demand despite recent drought challenges and rising rates.
