Campbell River energy & net metering
What BC Hydro charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in British Columbia.
BC Hydro’s current residential rates are 11.87¢/kWh (Step 1) and 14.08¢/kWh (Step 2), with rate increases of 3.75% in both 2025 and 2026. Solar locks in your energy costs as grid rates continue rising.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Campbell River system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 11.87¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to BC Hydro for net-metering credit.

Net Metering Tradeoff - Campbell River
As of July 2026, BC Hydro’s export rate of about 10¢/kWh (Rate Schedule 2289) is in effect. The BCUC approved it on March 24, 2026 and it took effect July 1, 2026, closing 1:1 net metering (Rate Schedule 1289) to new customers. Customers who received BC Hydro’s solar rebate are moved to the new rate. Installing without the rebate may keep you on 1:1 net metering for 10 years from the original service start date.
