Electricity demand on central Vancouver Island is increasing. As a result, parts of the regional transmission system, specifically the transmission lines that serve the area between Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach, are at capacity and are even overloaded under certain conditions. In order to provide a continued safe and reliable supply of electricity to this rapidly growing region, British Columbia Transmission Corporation (BCTC) has identified the need for improvements to the regional transmission system in this area.
A significant reinforcement to the central Vancouver Island system is required by 2010. The Central Vancouver Island Transmission Project will help ensure that the communities of this region have a safe, secure and reliable supply of power well into the future.
