FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Site C project has reached another key milestone, with the fourth generating unit now online.
According to BC Hydro, this means two-thirds of the project’s generating capacity is now operational.
Site C’s first generating unit was brought online in October 2024, with the second unit following in December. The third unit was brought online this February.
Each unit is capable of producing more than 180 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 80,000 homes.
With the fourth unit now operational, BC Hydro has begun testing and commissioning the fifth unit. The Site C project remains on track to have all six generating units operational by fall 2025, a release reads.
Once fully operational, the $16 billion Site C project will provide enough clean electricity to power nearly 500,000 homes, increasing BC Hydro’s electricity supply by eight per cent.
