LONG-TERM BENEFITS Now ranked as the fourth-largest by capacity of BC Hydro’s more than 30 hydroelectric generating stations, Site C will serve British Columbians for the next century. It will provide a reliable supply of clean energy while positioning the province to meet ambitious climate goals. Hydropower with reservoir storage, unlike some renewable sources, provides firm energy—meaning, it can generate electricity around the clock, regardless of weather or season. This stability makes it the cornerstone for integrating other renewables like wind and solar, which fluctuate depending on natural conditions. The scale of Site C means its impact is felt not just regionally, but provincially. As industries transition away from fossil fuels and toward electrification, the project provides the assurance that B.C. has the capacity to support growth while still reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 71 NOV 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
