After careful consideration of the alternatives, BCTC believes that it has selected the alternative that is the most effective and energy-efficient solution to increase the province's transmission capacity.
BCTC decided that it will seek the necessary approvals to construct a new 500-kilovolt (kV) alternating current (AC) transmission line, mostly along the existing right-of-way from the Nicola Substation near Merritt to the Meridian Substation in Coquitlam - the largest expansion to B.C.'s transmission system in 30 years.
February - March 2007
We held a series of community open houses in February/March 2007 to share information about the ILM Project and the alternatives being considered. More than 130 people attended these open houses.
Open houses were held in the communities of Merritt, Hope, Kent, Maple Ridge, Mission and Coquitlam.
