A high BC Hydro bill usually comes down to using more electricity than usual, often for heating in winter, or to a billing period that covers more days than the last one. Compare the usage on the bill with the same period last year in your MyHydro account, check the reading dates, and think about what in the home has changed, such as a new heater or a hot water tank working harder. If the usage still makes no sense, ask BC Hydro to review the meter readings and the bill, and ask about a payment arrangement while it is checked.

To escalate a complaint with BC Hydro, ask the customer service agent to log it and give you a reference, then ask to speak to a Customer Service Supervisor if the answer does not settle it.

Put the key points in writing through the customer support centre in your MyHydro account as well, with the account number, the dates and the outcome you want.

Yes: the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) handles complaints about the utilities it regulates in British Columbia, Canada, such as how rates and standard charges are applied, and BC Hydro is one of them. The BCUC generally expects BC Hydro to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, chat, letter and reference number.
