Setup fees and security deposits
There's a $12.40 + GST charge for all new accounts and moves. This charge will appear on your first BC Hydro bill. Accounts may also require a security deposit.
Landlords or property managers
If your tenants pay BC Hydro directly for electricity service, you can enter into a Rental Premise Agreement to manage a BC Hydro account for the vacant periods between tenants. This helps avoid delays in electrical service for any new tenants. Get started by filling out the application online.
Electrical connections
If you need to add BC Hydro service at a location that doesn’t have an electrical connection yet (such as a new condo development, new vacation home or cabin), you'll need to apply for a new electrical connection.
