BC Hydro: One of the largest electricity utilities in Canada??BC Hydro is one of the largest electric utilities in Canada, serving 95 per cent of B.C.’s population and delivering electricity safely and reliably at competitive rates to approximately 1.9 million customers. Nearly 90 per cent of customer accounts are residential, with the remainder either commercial or industrial. Each of these three groups consumes roughly one third of the total electricity supplied. (roughly one third each??)
Over 95 per cent of the electricity generated by BC Hydro comes from hydroelectric facilities (IPP included??), which are located throughout the Peace, Columbia and Coastal regions of B.C. Three thermal generating plants produce the remainder (Diesel too??).
8 (Eight) from North America have been chosen by BC Hydro Chairman Brad Bennett.

BC Hydro asks the Question:
Have you ever wondered how our rates compare?

BC Hydro's spelling of comparison as compaision .....?

A true comparison would address what our rates would be if BC Hydro wasn't hiding massive debt that must be paid some day by BC's ratepayers.
Lew, I don't think we will be paying for that debt in the usual manner. Bankruptcy might be the only solution. We're going to be Detroit North by the time the photo op queen is through with this province.
