This is a list of electrical generating stations in British Columbia, Canada.

Hydroelectric

List of most of the hydroelectric generating stations in British Columbia.

Hydroelectric stations owned by BC Hydro

A list of all grid-tied hydroelectric generation stations in British Columbia operated by BC Hydro

*Waneta Dam has been wholly owned by BC Hydro since July 2018 after Fortis BC finalized an agreement with Teck to sell its 66% interest in the dam, but BC Hydro had first rights to purchase the remaining 66% from its first 1/3 ownership deal.

Privately-owned hydroelectric stations

This list includes all grid-connected hydroelectric generating stations not owned by the Crown Corporation BC Hydro. This list includes stations owned and operated by Independent Power Producers as well as by private utilities such as Nelson Hydro and FortisBC. In some cases, such as Lois Lake and Powell Lake, the electricity generated may be used solely for private industry, even if it is grid-connected.

Other renewables

Biomass, biogas and waste heat

List of all biomass, biogas and waste heat power plants in British Columbia.

Solar photovoltaic

List of all solar photovoltaic power stations in British Columbia.

Wind

List of all wind farms in British Columbia.

Natural gas
