Temporary program suspension
July 2022 update: We’ve temporarily suspended our Beautification Program to assign the highly-skilled and experienced designers to new service connections. We’ll see through projects that have already been approved and will evaluate applications that have already been received. If you have questions about the status of your application, please email us beautification@bchydro.com
We help convert overhead lines to underground
BC Hydro's Beautification Fund provides financial assistance to municipal governments for conversion of overhead service to underground facilities to enhance and improve the use of public spaces.
See our Beautification Fund brochure [PDF, 2.0 MB] for more information and to apply. Applications must be submitted by September 30 to be considered for the following year.
