Tilbury LNG plant
FortisBC’s Tilbury LNG facility was Canada’s first LNG facility and has provided LNG since 1971. Built originally to solely ensure energy supply during high winter demand, Tilbury now also provides LNG for the marine transportation industry and small-scale exports via ISO containers. As the demand for LNG as a marine fuel grows, the company is also working with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority to develop the first ship-to-ship LNG marine refuelling service on the west coast of North America.[4] This facility holds up to 74,000 cubic metres of LNG and is also the first in Canada to produce LNG for export overseas. A lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) analysis. [1] from environmental consultant, Sphera, found the Tilbury facility produces LNG with nearly 30 per cent less carbon intensity than the global LNG supply, on average.
FortisBC is also planning to expand its Tilbury facility to meet increasing demand for LNG into the future. FortisBC claims the proposed Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project would improve the resiliency of the gas system – ensuring it has the natural gas supply to support its customers’ needs in times of high demand. It would also help the company advance LNG as a marine fuel or meet demand from overseas customers. [citation needed] The proposed project includes the construction of a new storage tank that can hold up to 162,000 cubic metres of LNG, potentially tripling Tilbury’s current storage capacity and a new liquefaction unit with a capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per year to produce LNG for domestic use, marine fuelling or overseas export.
Mt. Hayes facility
The 20-hectare Mt. Hayes facility is located approximately six kilometres northwest of Ladysmith. The storage facility, supplied by FortisBC’s existing pipeline systems, has about a 70,000m3 capacity to store liquefied natural gas. Since 2011, this facility has helped keep natural gas costs lower even when demand is high. [citation needed] This project is a joint venture with the Stz'uminus First Nation.
Hydroelectric generating plants
FortisBC owns four hydroelectric generating plants on the Kootenay River with a total capacity of 225 megawatts (MW). They are the Corra Linn, Upper Bonnington, Lower Bonnington and South Slocan plants.

Corra Linn
The Corra Linn Dam was built in 1932 to control upstream storage by raising Kootenay Lake and generating power through three 19,000 horsepower units operating under the depth of water behind the dam of approximately 16 metres. The aggregate generating capacity is 51 MW. The Corra Linn Dam is located on the Kootenay River, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) downstream of the City of Nelson on British Columbia Highway 3A.
Upper Bonnington
The Upper Bonnington Generating Plant consists of six hydroelectric units in two adjacent powerhouses, a 15-metre-high concrete gravity dam, a powerhouse with two sections, a gated spillway and an overflow spillway. The original powerhouse was built in 1907, upgraded in 1916 and extended again in 1939 for a total rated capacity of 65 MW. The Upper Bonnington Dam is located on the Kootenay River, approximately 17 km (11 mi) downstream of the City of Nelson. Also at the same Bonnington Falls location, but on the other side of the river is the City of Nelson Powerhouse in operation since 1907.[5] In 2018, the publication Hydro Review inducted the plant into their Hydro Hall of Fame, a program that recognizes extraordinary hydro power achievement throughout the world, with a special emphasis on long-lasting facilities.
Lower Bonnington
The Lower Bonnington Dam is composed of a powerhouse behind an intake dam on the right bank of the Kootenay River and a concrete gravity structure approximately 18 metres high. The original dam built in 1897 consisted of a rock-filled timber crib dam that straddled the river upstream of the falls at this site.[6] In 1924, the dam was demolished and replaced with a new, larger plant that included three units that increased aggregate generating capacity to 54 MW. It was then reconstructed in 1964.[7] The Lower Bonnington Dam is located on the Kootenay River approximately 18 km southwest of Nelson, BC.
South Slocan
The South Slocan Dam was commissioned in 1928 and has an aggregate generating capacity of 54 MW. The South Slocan Dam is located on the Kootenay River, near South Slocan, 20 km southwest of Nelson on British Columbia Highway 3A.
Generation plant operations
FortisBC also operates and maintains five generating plants owned by others, with a total generating capacity of 1,322 MW:
- Waneta Expansion Project, which is owned by Columbia Power Corporation and Columbia Basin Trust
- Waneta Dam, which is owned by Teck and BC Hydro
- Arrow Lakes Generating Station, which is owned by Columbia Power Corporation
- Brilliant Dam and Brilliant Expansion, which are owned by Columbia Power Corporation and Columbia Basin Trust
Energy offerings
FortisBC Energy Inc. is the largest distributor of natural gas, Renewable Natural Gas and piped propane in British Columbia, serving more than 1,054,000 natural gas customers in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, Whistler and the Interior of the province. The company also delivers natural gas and Renewable Natural Gas to northern communities such as Prince George and Fort Nelson, B.C. It delivers piped propane to customers in Revelstoke, BC.
It operates approximately 50,500 km of natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines, 11 compressor stations and two LNG facilities, one in Delta, B.C. and the other on Vancouver Island. The distribution network also includes several underwater pipeline crossings, including under the Columbia and Fraser rivers and the Strait of Georgia.
The Whistler natural gas line was built in conjunction with the Sea to Sky Highway Improvement Project, which was completed for the Vancouver-Whistler 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The natural gas line falls mainly within the highway right of way and brings natural gas to the Resort Municipality of Whistler, which was formerly served by propane.
Compressed natural gas
BC’s transportation industry is responsible for the largest share of provincial GHG emissions at 41% The natural gas industry claim that fueling medium and heavy-duty vehicles with compressed natural gas (CNG) can reduce GHG emissions by up to 30 per cent compared to diesel and gasoline.[8]
BC Transit and Translink both use of CNG in their bus fleets and Translink is taking an addition step to transition their bus fleets to use compressed RNG. In addition, organizations including UPS Canada, Yen Brothers, McRaes Environmental, London Drugs and ColdStar Solutions Inc. use CNG to power some of their fleet vehicles.[citation needed]
At the end of 2021, FortisBC had provided incentives to fleet operators for more than 1,000 medium and heavy-duty vehicles so they can operate on natural gas.[citation needed]
Liquefied natural gas in the marine sector
FortisBC’s Tilbury LNG facility provides LNG to marine vessels (like ferries). Conventional marine fuels have significant sulfur and nitrous oxides emissions, contributing to smog and a decrease in air quality. By using LNG from their facilities, FortisBC claims that GHG emissions could be reduced by up to 27%, particulate matter could be reduced by up to 99%, nitrogen oxides by up to 95%, and sulphur oxides could be reduced by almost 100% compared to the same conventional marine fuels.[9]
FortisBC has provided LNG for organizations such as BC Ferries and Seaspan Ferries for years. [citation needed] The company developed a proprietary design for bunkering LNG that uses customized tanker trucks fuelling right on board a vessel, collaborating with BC Ferries, Seaspan Ferries and their shipbuilders. [citation needed]
Electricity
FortisBC, and its predecessor companies, have operated and maintained hydroelectric power facilities in British Columbia since 1897. FortisBC owns four hydroelectric generating plants on the Kootenay River with a total capacity of 225 megawatts (MW). They are the Corra Linn, Upper Bonnington, Lower Bonnington and South Slocan plants. Combined, these plants provide about 45 per cent of the annual electricity needs of FortisBC electricity customers. They also operate and maintain additional facilities under management agreements in both regulated and non-regulated environments. These facilities include Waneta Dam, Arrow Lakes Generating Station and Brilliant Dam. [citation needed]
As an electricity provider, FortisBC continues to expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging network in the South Okanagan and Kootenay regions. In 2021, it opened 10 new stations, giving EV drivers access to highway-grade charging infrastructure and supporting the growing demand. At the end of 2021, FortisBC had a total of 40 EV charging stations across 22 sites. [citation needed]
Renewable Natural Gas
In June 2011, FortisBC launched a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) program for customers in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Interior and the Kootenays. This program collects methane from farms and landfills which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere and mixes it into existing natural gas infrastructure.[10] FortisBC residential, commercial and industrial customers can opt into the program and designate a fixed percent, up to a 100 per cent, of their natural gas usage be RNG. FortisBC acquires equivalent amounts of RNG to cover customer demand for its distribution system from RNG suppliers.
In 2020, BCUC approved FortisBC’s request to purchase RNG from suppliers outside of BC. The company has signed agreements with RNG suppliers in Alberta and Ontario and the United States. In 2021, FortisBC had signed a total of 30 supply agreements to purchase RNG in BC and out of province.[11]
As of 2021, this program provided 0.7 PJ of RNG [12] when compared to 230 PJ or natural gas provided by the company, or 0.3% of the total gas supplied by energy use.[13][14]
Propane
FortisBC delivers piped propane to around 1,500 residential and commercial customers in Revelstoke, BC. The piped propane system was first introduced to Revelstoke in 1991 because the city was located too great of a distance from the natural gas distribution system. Currently, propane is supplied to Revelstoke by railcars and tanker trucks, where it is offloaded into storage tanks, vaporized as needed, and distributed to customers through an underground piped distribution system.[15]
Allegations of misinformation and greenwashing
On March 3, 2022, a government-industry study commissioned by Fortis BC., the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, and the BC Bioenergy Network was released. This document was then edited 9 days later to remove several paragraphs that portrayed natural gas unfavorably. Sections removed included an assertion that electric heat pumps were “six to eight times more efficient than heating with gas” as well as other claims regarding a predicted decline in future pipeline sales.[16] A FOIPPA request from Glacer Media showed that those paragraphs were removed after release on demand of FortisBC’s strategic advisor for climate change and energy, Tyler Bryant, who claimed that he was frustrated with "how you guys are trying to expand the scope of the study". A FortisBC spokesperson and BC Bioenergy Network's director Scott Stanners both confirmed that the removal had occurred as a result of the study's steering committee judging the information out of scope.[16]
Richmond city officials had noticed the removal in November of that year, with the city's director of sustainability and district energy accusing FortisBC of "manufacturing a conversation that suits its long-term goals.".[17] These accusations were echoed by Richmond city counsellor Michael Wolfe and Nanaimo city counselor Ben Geselbracht, the latter of whom accused the report of lying by omission, a claim vehemently denied by Stanners.[16]
In September 2022, a complaint was filed with the Canada Competition Bureau against the Canadian Gas Association claiming that the industry's positioning of natural gas as being eco-friendly was "false and misleading".[18] FortisBC, a member of the Canadian Gas Association, was accused by journalists of promoting similar claims, amongst other allegations of misleading information and "greenwashing".[14][19][20]
Energy efficiency and conservation programs
FortisBC is mandated to provide conservation and energy efficiency programs to customers, helping them lower energy use and reduce GHG emissions. In April 2009, FortisBC implemented a $41.5 million energy efficiency and conservation program after receiving approval from the BCUC to use those funds from 2009 to 2010.[21] In November 2009, the BCUC approved an extension of the program until the end of 2011, and increased allowed expenditures by approximately $38.5 million. FortisBC continues to provide millions in funding and incentives every year to help British Columbians use less energy and save money. [citation needed]
Customers upgrading to high-efficiency residential appliances and equipment such as furnaces, water heaters and fireplaces can receive a rebate [from whom?] to reduce the cost of choosing high-efficiency models. There are similar programs and offers available to commercial and industrial customers to encourage the transition to higher efficiency equipment. In addition, additional funding [from whom?] is provided for energy efficiency education to help encourage customer behaviour changes to reduce energy consumption.[citation needed]
In 2019, the BCUC approved FortisBC’s request to expand its overall energy-efficiency investment to $368.5 million over the 2019–2022 period. The request formed part of FortisBC’s 2019-2022 Demand Side Management Applications for both its natural gas and electricity operations. This represents the largest funding approval FortisBC has received to date for its energy efficiency initiatives.
In 2021, FortisBC invested close to $120 million in these conservation and energy efficiency programs, helping more British Columbians upgrade to high-efficiency natural gas and electricity equipment. Improving energy efficiency in homes and businesses can help customers reduce monthly bills and lower GHG emissions. [citation needed]
