The new plan also outlines measures BC Transmission (BCTC) will take to support key objectives including innovation and enhanced reliability.
BCTC stated that key actions include enabling integration of clean and renewable energy, measures to implement new technologies to improve the grid, including system modernization, replacement of existing assets, and innovative solutions to reduce line losses.
Jane Peverett, BCTC president and CEO, said: BCTC is planning for the future by ensuring British Columbia’s electricity system has the necessary capacity to meet the needs of our growing population. We are working to improve reliability, reinforce existing assets, and connect new sources of green energy to the grid.
