This is the best summary I could come up with:
British Columbia's power provider is planning to spend more than $3 billion on capital projects to upgrade and expand the electrical grid on Vancouver Island.
Hydro projects will create thousands of jobs over the next decade and ensure the region has enough clean, affordable and reliable electricity to power homes, businesses and the economy.
Hydro's updated 10-year capital plan announced in January, which commits $36 billion to regional and community infrastructure.
"We are embarking on significant upgrades to our electricity system, including investments in our generation plants, new and expanded substation projects, as well as major distribution investments to support underground and overhead infrastructure extensions to ensure we can continue to provide reliable and clean electricity to our customers," said Chris O'Riley, president of the B.C.
The utility is also increasing power line capacity to support new residential growth in areas including north and south Nanaimo, Bear Mountain and Langford Heights.
Hydro is working on upgrades in Port Alice, allowing more users and larger customers to connect to the system.
