  1. BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours per year from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.

    Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.

    Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

  11. The other reason I don’t use BCHydro is that I have RFID keychain tags for ChargePoint, that I can tap at the chargers to pay for the session. This can be handy if you run into a connectivity issue with the app.

  12. I checked. The last transaction I had with BCHydro was March 24, 2022. 🤨

  13. One of the things that bothers me about public EV charging is the way most companies are set up as a pre-pay system, whereby you ‘load’ your account with funds prior to charging. This means that the company is always in possession of your money for a service they have not yet provided. The best solution I’ve found was to use one provider (ChargePoint) who has reciprocal agreements with virtually every other charging provider around here (including BC Hydro) so I only have to top up one account vs. having balances with many.

    Enter BCHydro. This morning I’ve received three emails from them because apparently I have an outstanding negative balance of $1.86. (This would have been because a charging session went over the available balance on my account). I went to the app, as instructed, to pay the balance but the minimum amount they will let me top up my account with is $10.

    Sure, I could just pay it, and leave the $8.14 in there in perpetuity, but fuck that! Why should they get to hang onto that money?

    I’ve emailed them asking them to provide another way for me to pay the outstanding balance. We’ll see how that goes…

  14. Charging for the drive home at the new bank of #bchydro chargers at the end of the #yyj runway in Sydney by the Sea. Awaiting the return of the son from Ottawa.

    Last time I was here, @Tree 's plane flew right over us as we were charging... it was 20m early 😂

    (son's flight was delayed 1.5hrs today due to "connecting passengers")

  19. RE: mstdn.ca/@thetyee/115452275309

    We are allllllwyas subsidizing those fuckers.

    24 years ago, Gordon Campbell blocked #bchydro from green energy, and the #bcndp maintains that fuckery, to the point that we could have spent the last 2 dozen years being an industrial leader in green design and economics.

    The #bcndp is equally blind to climate science, & not for some kind of boon of hundreds of thousands of jobs.

    Bit of an aside, but my CBC Podcasts at the moment are absolutely saturated by advertisements for our provincial Crown corporation, BC Hydro, who has a virtual monopoly on electricity generation in the province.

    Why exactly do they need to spend ratepayer’s money on advertising? 🤷‍♂️

    Let's end fossil fuel development in BC!

    I want green: tidal, wind, solar, geothermal. If only the #BCpremier's office would stop their 24 years of preventing #bchydro from doing it? @emilylowan
