Businesses in communities like Anahim Lake, Nimpo Lake, Bella Coola and Haida Gwaii can install solar energy without any upfront costs and potentially save money through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
These communities are pay electrical rates based BC Hydro’s Zone 2 tariff. That means they pay higher rates than other areas.
With a PPA the business can install solar at no upfront cost. They do pay for the electricity generated but often at a lower cost than what they are pay BC Hydro.
