This when compared to Site C in BC is exactly why it is so frustrating. Hydro is important base load but the at more than 10x the cost for a similar size project AND one that is funded predominantly by private capital. You can argue that AB might build out renewables faster under a different govt but they are still building them out faster than any other province so... Shame on us?

671 followers · 7170 posts · Server zeroes.caSeems #bchydro have dropped their customer service and I am livid.
An automated message simply informs you they are aware of the outage, but even after 7 hours one can’t get a basic estimate on when power will be returned.
At the breaking point, we phoned to demand compensation for their regular power outages but found we can no longer even connect to a representative.

672 followers · 7166 posts · Server zeroes.caFormal complaint to #bchydro, who has cut our power for “maintenance” 3 times this year already. We now have no power for the fourth time in five months. What a horrible useless, overpaid company.
We would switch power providers if we could but #bchydro owns the monopoly unchallenged. They will flood peace valley and we will all still be sitting in the dark.

If these so called corporations are really private - why the fuck do taxpayers fund mass subsidies for all the above named? It's because #BCgovernment depends on #undereducated & #unaware #citizens to keep on fucking us all over. #Demand #BCNDP #transparency & don't buy politician lies.

111 followers · 207 posts · Server mastodon.ecoBC Hydro is finally putting in place time-of-use rates. It only took 12 years after smart meters were installed.
- 11 pm - 7 am: 5 ¢/kWh discount (offpeak)
- 7 am - 4 pm: same price
- 4 pm - 9 pm: 5 ¢/kWh extra (peak)
This is a pretty small baby step, but hopefully, we'll see more comprehensive TOU rates in the future. This new rate might be useful to EV owners, but only if their evening consumption isn't too high.
