Your clean energy partner
BC Hydro is ready to help your business switch to clean, renewable electricity. We offer support, guidance, and incentives to help your business reduce the cost of electrifying operations, enhance your energy efficiency, and reduce your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Businesses can proactively prepare for potential regulatory requirements while meeting their own internal climate goals and targets.
We can help large commercial and industrial businesses to:
Establish a new operation
We can help your large commercial or industrial business establish new operations in the province, including matching your business to an available site that is already connected to our integrated grid.
Electrify your business
We help eligible businesses switch to low-carbon electricity, become more energy efficient, and reduce their costs. We support sectors including commercial buildings, transportation, clean tech, mining, and upstream gas.
Program support
We offer resources and incentives to support a range of sectors, including commercial buildings and industrial facilities, and industries including forestry, mining, manufacturing, transportation, and more.
Access incentives and support
We administer incentives to help businesses transition to cleaner energy, electrify operations, and improve their energy efficiency. They may be stackable with those from other agencies, including local, provincial, and federal governments.
Industrial property registry
Reduce the time and cost to connect your business to our integrated grid by selecting a pre-qualified industrial brownfield site. We maintain a registry of vetted industrial sites, ready to match with eligible energy-intensive businesses.
The fastest and most cost-efficient way to connect your business to our integrated grid is by selecting an existing industrial site with available land, electrical infrastructure, and transmission or distribution capacity.
If you already own or have identified a potential industrial site for your new large commercial or industrial business, your property may be eligible interconnection or project study funding.
Get support from BC Hydro to market your industrial site
We help match existing industrial brownfield sites with new businesses looking to expand or establish operations in the province.
Opportunities for industrial sites
If your business owns an available site, leverage our network and industry expertise to market properties and uncover potential new opportunities.
If you have identified a new customer for your under-utilized industrial site and electrical upgrades are required, contact us to learn more about our programs and interconnection support.
Before establishing or expanding a new large commercial or industrial operation, learn more about the process, costs, and timelines to connect to our integrated grid.
