Powerex primarily purchases energy from BC entities and structures the product into tradable blocks of energy for delivery outside of the province. In addition, we provide the necessary WECC Operating Reserves and firm up products by filling in any gaps resulting from forced or maintenance outages.

Capacity

We're always on the lookout for new opportunities and can purchase extra capacity from large industrials throughout BC.

Natural Gas

Powerex is responsible for natural gas trade around the supply of gas for BC Hydro's gas generating units. Powerex buys the majority of its natural gas from producers in BC, with transactions taking place mainly at the WEI Station 2, AECO and Huntingdon/Sumas hubs. As a leading marketer of energy products and services, we are constantly seeking new opportunities and trading partners within the natural gas sector.
