About the Call for Power
The 2025 Call for Power is a competitive energy procurement process that builds on the success of the 2024 Call for Power. It aligns with BC Hydro's commitment to a regular cadence of procurements for clean, renewable energy in support of B.C.'s growing population and industries.
We are looking to acquire 5,000 GWh/year of additional clean and renewable energy and expect to award Electricity Purchase Agreements (EPAs) in early 2026.
Participation in the 2025 Call for Power does not preclude proponents from taking part in the 2025 Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) for Capacity. Interested parties are advised that the 2025 Call for Power process and the 2025 RFEOI for Capacity are independent of the other and participation in one process will not be participation in the other process.
