BC Hydro is proposing to build the new 500 kV transmission lines and associated infrastructure from Prince George to Terrace through two phases:

Phase 1: Prince George to Glenannan Transmission

Phase 2: Glenannan to Terrace Transmission

  • An approximately 130 km line from Glenannan substation to Telkwa substation.
  • An approximately 145 km line from Telkwa substation to Skeena substation.
  • For more information, visit the BC Hydro NCTL Phase 2 page.

Additional infrastructure for both phases includes fibre optic cable installed on new or existing transmission structures, capacitor station expansion, and substation upgrades or expansion.

Cost recovery: The BCER will recover the costs associated with the regulatory oversight of renewable energy projects through fees and levies beginning in 2026/27. In the interim, the BCER can recover costs arising from April 2024 to June 2026 by issuing certificates. The BCER will post all certificates to its webpage as they are issued.
