August is peak solar-production season in BC: and under BC Hydro’s new Self-Generation Rate 2289, your excess energy can now earn a 10¢/kWh credit when sent to the grid.
Effective July 1, 2026, Rate 2289 helps homeowners turn surplus summer generation into greater energy value while reducing reliance on purchased electricity. The right system design, battery storage and energy-management strategy can help you use more of your solar power and maximize every sunny day.
