British Columbia’s hydro utility intentionally misled a regulatory agency over the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars on information technology, says the New Democrat opposition.
The allegations focus on a BC Hydro five-year plan for information technology and telecommunications and the company chosen to provide the software.
Adrian Dix, the NDP’s critic for BC Hydro, outlined his concerns in a letter written to Len Kelsey, chair and CEO of the BC Utilities Commission.
“The president of BC Hydro has to take action here,” said Dix in an interview Friday. “I mean it is a terrible message to send when you have BC Hydro behaving in this way.”
