Representing the renewable energy industry in British Columbia

BC has some of the strongest, most consistent wind regimes in Canada and the ideal hydro resource base to integrate wind power.

BC’s best solar energy resources are located in the Northeast and Southern interior of the province.

Run-of-River hydroelectric projects generate electricity by using part of natural stream flows and natural elevation differences found in mountainous regions like BC.

A successful program will assist in recovering merchantable and non-merchantable fiber, advancing the regeneration of BC’s forests.

Hydroelectricity is BC’s largest source of electric power generation and are typically located in smaller communities.

BC Hydro has identified 16 prospective geothermal sites in the province.

Tidal energy plants will be made up of arrays of individual generators in suitable high-current areas.

Two wave energy projects have received provincial ICE funding: SyncWave Energy Systems and the Pacific Coastal Wave Energy Corp.
