About BC Hydro
Fifty years ago, British Columbians turned to BC
Hydro to build the clean electricity system they count on to power B.C.'s
economy, create jobs in every region, and keep the lights on. Now, BC Hydro is
building again for the next 50 years. B.C. continues to grow and so has the
need for more electricity. That’s why BC Hydro is building, renewing, and
encouraging conservation to meet today’s needs and those of future
generations. In 2011, BC Hydro is celebrating 50 years of providing power for
British Columbians, and inviting them to help prepare for the next 50 years.
