BC Hydro has reached another key milestone on the Site C project as the dam’s fourth generating unit has come online.
Two-thirds of the project’s generating capacity is now operational.
“Congratulations to all the workers at Site C for reaching this important milestone in construction,” said Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions Adrian Dix.
“Another generating unit in operation is another step forward as we work to build a secure supply of clean, affordable, reliable electricity to power British Columbia into the future.”
The first generating unit was brought online in October 2024, with the second following in December and the third in February.
According to BC Hydro, each unit is capable of producing more than 180 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 80,000 homes.
Work has also started on testing and commissioning the fifth unit. The project remains on track to have all six generating units operational by fall 2025.
