Site C work camp moved to support nation-building project in northern B.C.
About 85% of the $470 million Site C camp will be relocated to support the North Coast Transmission Line, doubling power capacity for LNG and resource projects, BC Hydro said.
- BC Hydro announced Friday it will dismantle and relocate about 85 per cent of the Site C worker accommodation to support construction of the North Coast Transmission Line across northern British Columbia.
- With the Site C dam fully operational last year, the $470 million housing complex faced disposal as landfill waste until The Crown utility decided to repurpose the modular facilities for incoming transmission crews.
- Twenty-One modular dormitories housing 1,764 beds will be moved from the Peace River near Fort St. John to multiple locations between Prince George and Terrace to accommodate construction crews.
- Energy Minister Adrian Dix called the plan "a win-win for British Columbians," while Chief Robert Michell of the Stellaten First Nation said reusing the camp "saves construction materials and resources."
- Construction will twin the existing 500-kilovolt transmission line between Prince George and Terrace, more than doubling regional electrical capacity to power a planned floating LNG terminal on the North Coast.
