A geographic view of the physical system
The BC Hydro map brings the infrastructure across British Columbia into one view. Provincial reference boundaries provide geographic context while individual records retain their published facility operators.
Generation records combine Natural Resources Canada's NACEI atlas with mapped OpenStreetMap sites. Transmission lines and substations carry the names, voltage and geometry their sources publish. Inventory geography describes where a facility is, while its source record describes who operates it.
