Position Highlights
BC Hydro’s mission is to safely provide our customers with reliable, affordable, clean electricity to provide a more

sustainable future for all British Columbians. A key component of BC Hydro’s strategy is our Energy Efficiency plan that

includes tools, technology, and programs for customers to encourage more energy efficient choices to support the energy

transition from fossil-fuels to clean and renewable energy sources. Access to energy efficiency tools and resources provides

our customers with opportunities to save energy and money, while reducing energy use (both overall and at peak times),

relieving pressure on our electricity grid, and reducing the need for new clean electricity resources. This is the best most

cost-efficient way to meet the growing demand for electricity, helping to keep electricity affordable for our customers.

The Measurement and Verification (M&V) department performs technically complex work based on industry standards such

as the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP®). This function plays a critical role in

ensuring accountability for customer projects receiving BC Hydro program funding and maintaining stakeholder confidence

in reported Energy Efficiency plan results. Extensive data collection supports our M&V work, including field metering data,

customer metering data, production and operating data, and BC Hydro monthly and interval electricity consumption data.
