Join the Vancouver Island Branch for an in-person dinner, networking, and presentation on BC Hydro’s capital projects. The presentation will include a discussion on the seismic upgrades to the John Hart Dam, Ladore Dam, and Strathcona Dam. The presentation will then shift from hydroelectric facilities to transmission facilities. The Victoria to Esquimalt Cable Replacement Project involves replacing a direct-buried, mineral oil-filled cable with a higher capacity, oil-free cable that is constructed in a duct-bank. The project will address the reliability, environmental, and seismic risks associated with the existing cable while also meeting electricity load growth in Greater Victoria.
