BC Hydro says it is more than able to deliver electricity to its customers in BC, no matter how hot it gets in the coming days.
Environment Canada is predicting unseasonable heat by this weekend for most of the province.
Hydro says, unlike the blackouts and other difficulties seen in the US during a heat wave currently underway there, the Crown utility is ready to handle all demands on its resources.
It says it has even been selling surplus power to energy-strapped US states and funds from those sales will be used to keep electricity rates affordable in BC.
BC Hydro on Twitter:
It’s going to be a hot one. With temperatures predicted far above normal, our system is clean and readily available to ensure power is there when you need it most: http://ow.ly/4ywS50FfYGc
