BC Transmission Corporation

BC Transmission Corporation is the provincial Crown corporation that plans, builds, operates and maintains the province's publicly-owned electrical transmission system. The Minister for the Crown holds 100 percent of the shares of the Corporation, as required by the Transmission Corporation Act of May 29, 2003.

BCTC was created in 2003 to ensure fair and open access to the transmission system. BC Hydro owns the transmission assets (such as towers, poles and substations) and BCTC manages those assets.

We are responsible for:

  • Planning the system: planning for system upgrades and ensuring that BC has a reliable electricity supply for the future
  • Building the system: building new infrastructure including circuits and substations to ensure that the system expands to meet BC’s growing needs
  • Operating the system: ensuring the transmission of electricity through wires and transmission facilities from our state-of-the-art control centre
  • Maintaining the system: keeping electrical equipment safe and reliable, managing trees and vegetation and developing innovative solutions to extend the life of transmission assets
