Power outages in British Columbia

This page shows live outage status for British Columbia, refreshed about every 15 minutes from BC Hydro's public outage feed. There is no independent nationwide outage count in Canada the way US states have one, so the numbers come straight from the utility. Search your address for the most specific view.

BC Hydro is the main electricity provider we track in British Columbia. Report an outage or downed line directly to BC Hydro so crews can be dispatched — this is an independent tracker, not the utility.

Restoration depends on the cause and scale of each outage. Where the utility reports how many customers are out, we publish an independent restoration estimate from the outage count, recovery rate, and weather — shown even before the utility posts an official time.
