The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) welcomes two new clean energy RFEOIs in British Columbia, as recently announced by Minister Adrian Dix, British Columbia’s Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions.
On June 4, 2024, BC Hydro launched two requests for expressions of interest (RFEOI) to explore the next era of the province’s power potential, expand clean-energy resources and advance energy efficiency. Both initiatives are part of the recently announced Clean Power Action Plan, an ambitious strategy to strengthen energy security, enhance system resilience and accelerate the transition to clean electricity.
The first RFEOI focuses on meeting growing peak demand through new baseload and capacity solutions such as energy storage. The second RFEOI targets innovation in energy efficiency. Submissions will close in September 2025. The details are available on BC Hydro’s website.
CanREA is encouraged by BC Hydro’s commitment to soliciting broad feedback from industry on the full range of potential technology solutions, including energy storage, that can meet capacity needs and using this feedback to inform future procurement processes.
