To save money with BC Hydro you need to remove BC Hydro. They are incompetent and a complete waste of money. Try working on projects with them, if it wasn't for the fact that if you work on their projects you need to sign an NDA the public would have removed them years ago.

Common sense is just not that common Chief Willson. H Sapiens has a history of loving a fight. But no enemy has ever been as Kamikaze as the one in the morning mirror. If we do as we have always done, we will get what we have been getting. BC "supernatural" is a remnant of what it was even a decade ago. Slum Dog Millionaire is a good "lesson" movie in just what a human being will, over time, gradually accept as every day normal.

Hmmm built with taxpayers money..we took the risk..and paid for it...no reason we shouldn't be demanding a favoritable rate..the excess can be sold at a different rate..there is already a precidence for multiple tier pay rates..my bill yesterday charges one rate up to a certain use age. ..08 cents. .per kw or ? then it jumps to .12 cents per ?..
Sell our excess at what makes us money...

^ that'd be great if it worked that way, and indeed it's supposed to. But with Site C, it's industry that is getting the break at .06/kWh on a long term contract. If the province was willing to sign a long term discount contract with rate payers in exchange for putting up the capital, I'd be all for it.
unfortunately it's going to go the other way on us. Our Utility, is giving our suppliers huge money for procuring energy that we could be making ourselves with our current infrastructure. It's going to bleed us on both ends: taxes and hydro rates. I'm heating with wood and have an incoming bill for 900 bucks!
Hmmm i guess I'm still in the dark on this subject..
I live in Williams lake,42 year old home..have a few energy efficient lights..mostly the garage..high efficiency forced air furnace and hotwater tank.just Susan, our faithful pooch eEbony. .we plug our 2 vehicles in, both have a block heater and oil pan heater..
Our hydro bill for 2 months was $200..for 61 days..or $3.28 per day...furnace, water, lights, cooking showers, laundry..everything..plus 2 vehicles with 4 high wattage heaters. ..I'm not Complaining about that..during may, June July Aug, sept it's much lower..yes $900 is expensive..this is about as high as our hydro gets..a bit higher in January. .feb but not much..
Don't wear sweaters and turn the heat off..21 degrees ..and 19 at night..nor do we leave lights on..life..
Natural gas is about the most reasonable heat source..and gain no complaints with that bill...
Just our experience..can't imagine a huge bill..couldn't manage that on my pension...ouch.
