Grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) procurement

Description: BC Hydro is seeking supplier qualifications for its first grid-scale battery energy storage project in British Columbia, a Vancouver Island facility planned to provide at least 100 MW of flexible capacity. The utility expects to own and operate the facility while using private-sector expertise for design, construction and potentially long-term maintenance, supporting reliability, electrification and growing provincial electricity demand. The posting identifies this as a competitive RFSQ rather than a grant program and the first stage of procurement, with qualified respondents potentially invited to later RFPs and responses accepted through BC Bid until September 16, 2026.
