Overview:

This free B2E webinar featured four speakers from BC Hydro addressing concerns related to building electrification.

To meet national, provincial, and local climate targets, our buildings, transportation, and industry need to shift to low-carbon technologies and energy. In British Columbia, we have a unique advantage. 98% of our electricity is generated from clean and renewable sources. In all sectors, the switch from fossil fuels to clean electricity is a critical strategy to reduce the province's greenhouse gas emissions.

BC Hydro provides electricity to 95% of the province and has over five million customers. BC Hydro is taking action to prepare for the electricity needs of the future from the electrification of buildings, transportation, and industry. The speakers addressed some important questions related to building electrification:

• Is BC ready for electrification?
• How will BC Hydro meet our future electricity needs?
• Does the building industry have a role to play in helping BC Hydro meet the future electricity demand?
