FORT ST. JOHN — The Site C project has reached another milestone on the path to completion with the third generating unit in service.

BC Hydro says three of six generating units are operational, significantly contributing to BC’s energy supply.

Testing and commissioning work has begun on the fourth generating unit. BC Hydro remains on track to have all six generating units at Site C in operation by this fall.

Once fully operational, Site C will deliver enough electricity to power nearly 500,000 new homes, increasing BC Hydro’s electricity supply by 8 per cent.

Construction on Site C began in July 2015 and the project is more than 90 per cent complete.
