FortisBC is issuing a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) for additional power to meet its customers’ growing energy needs and support economic growth in B.C.’s Southern Interior region.
As the company identifies promising projects, FortisBC said it will work with power providers to bring these new projects online and increase the amount of electricity available for its customers.
“As a provider of critical energy services in British Columbia, FortisBC is committed to providing safe, reliable and affordable energy to the homes and businesses we serve,” said Joe Mazza, vice president of energy supply and resource development.
“As our customers’ energy needs grow, we are working with Indigenous and local communities, local governments, businesses and organisations to meet this rising demand.
'This initiative will also be an opportunity for electricity generation providers to expand and create new jobs here in B.C., while ensuring that our customers continue to have the energy they need when they need it.”
FortisBC is looking for power providers with experience building projects in B.C. and with a focus on developing innovative, lower-carbon and renewable energy sources, including biomass, biogas, hydroelectricity, solar, wind and geothermal projects.
The company is interested in innovative new or existing projects located in British Columbia, ideally having a minimum size of five megawatts.
FortisBC is looking to add up to 1,100 gigawatt hours of energy supply as soon as 2030.
