The BC Sustainable Energy Association is calling on the BC government to postpone a final decision on the proposed Site C project, and instead to order BC Hydro to update its Integrated Resource Plan and submit it to the BC Utilities Commission for a thorough public review.

BC Hydro's resource analysis is out of date, given the speed with which technologies like wind and solar power are developing and falling in cost. They could prove to be cost effective alternatives to produce the power that BC needs without needing to flood valuable agricultural land.

Also, it would be financially imprudent to rely on BC Hydro's in-house cost estimate for Site C. Eight billion dollars is a lot of money to invest without independent public scrutiny.

Join us for a discussion of the important energy planning issues around Site C. Why does BC Hydro say the project should proceed ? Why does BCSEA say no ? Why is the government hesitating ?
