How will BC Hydro manage energy stability once all natural gas-fired plants are phased out?
The Energy Futures Institute is an independent Canadian project exploring some of the greatest challenges facing British Columbia’s energy security, affordability, and independence.
Addressing big questions on how we can meet BC’s growing energy demand while protecting our environment, not just today but for the coming decades and century ahead.
Energy Futures is focused on presenting unbiased, clear, and factual information about our energy landscape and the impacts that different policy options will have on our province.
We believe it's important to be practical and honest about BC’s capacity to meet the long-term needs of residential, commercial, and industrial energy users.

Energy Futures is focused on presenting unbiased, clear, and factual information about our energy landscape and the impacts that different policy options will have on our province.
We believe it's important to be practical and honest about BC’s capacity to meet the long-term needs of residential, commercial, and industrial energy users.
Our goal is to improve public knowledge and literacy about BC’s energy mix while offering constructive solutions to meet the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
We hope to see policymakers at all levels of government acknowledge the need for proactive, long-term planning in order to effectively serve British Columbians for years to come.
Energy Futures has been leading BC's conversations on energy supply, electrification, and infrastructure.
In media, we've been highlighting the need for sound long-term planning, drawing attention to potential shortfalls in our system, and offering ideas on how to ensure our energy system is affordable, efficient, and stable.
We are calling for a bold, forward-looking energy strategy that ensures reliable and affordable energy to support economic growth and living standards. It stresses that energy policy considerations should extend beyond climate and electricity, encompassing reliability, resilience, and affordability. We offer the following 10 recommendations that we trust will be given due consideration in these rapidly evolving times.
