2010 BC Clean Energy Act
The Act sets out very specific provisions for British Columbia to become a leading supplier of clean, renewable energy. The Act also establishes a number of measures that is supposed to help meet future electricity needs while generating new jobs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
BC’s 2010 Clean Energy Act does not change BCTC’s roles and responsibilities including planning, building, operating, and maintaining the province's publicly owned electrical transmission system. It also means that BC Hydro will continue to be publicly owned, with the government as its shareholder and public ownership of heritage assets protected by legislation.
This decision was made because the integration of BC Hydro and BCTC into one organization was an important component of the government’s clean energy initiative. Unifying BC Hydro and BCTC provides a single point of planning and authority for the provinces energy system.
