While most of the world struggles to find clean alternatives to fossil fuels to generate electricity, here in B.C. we're blessed with an unrivalled abundance: wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, wave and tidal energy resources, and even solar.  In fact, 93 percent of the electricity generated in British Columbia comes from clean, renewable hydroelectric sources.

Below is a listing of the green energy resources B.C. has in abundance.
