BC Hydro lied to the province’s independent regulator about a massive internal computer project, which has run millions over budget and into years of delays, according to the Opposition NDP.
Hundreds of pages of internal Hydro documents obtained by NDP critic Adrian Dix paint a picture of a $400-million information technology project — to upgrade financial, human resources and project management software — that was substantially changed during a review by the BC Utilities Commission, without the regulator’s knowledge.
Instead, Hydro at one point misled the BCUC commissioners about the software it planned to use when, behind-the-scenes, management documents show the corporation had already purchased different, more expensive software and begun implementing it without the BCUC’s knowledge, said Dix.
