Sep 17, 2025 - Why Is Canada Building a Chain Of Dams?! Imogen heads to northern British Columbia to check out Site C, BC Hydro’s newest (and maybe final) dam. It’s a massive project that will power around half a million homes, but it also raises big questions about the future of energy in the province. In this episode, we take a closer look at how BC Hydro plans to meet growing electricity demand, not just through dams, but also with renewables, energy efficiency, and modernising the grid. We find out about the construction process, from site preparation to the geotechnical challenges. Imogen also explores the big social and environmental questions that come with major infrastructure projects, including impacts on local ecosystems, communities, Indigenous lands, and cultural heritage. 00:00 Site C Dam 00:15 Electricity Supply 01:00 Global Electricity Demand 01:45 Solar & Wind 02:00 Gas, Coal, and Nuclear 02:15 Hydropower 02:40 Social and Environmental Consequences 02:50 Dam Construction Project 03:11 Construction Management Interview 03:50 Powerhouse and Generator Units 04:45 Power Generation 05:20 Site Preparation 07:00 Geotechnical and Environmental Challenges 08:15 Infrastructure 09:00 Reservoir 09:40 Other BC Hydro Dams 11:00 Environmental Concerns 12:35 Fishway 12:50 W.A.C.
