BC's remote communities face the unique challenge of generating their own energy, the majority of which comes from diesel generators. Diesel power generation is a significant contributor to both poor air quality and climate change. The Remote Community Implementation (RCI) Program assists BC’s remote communities in reducing their dependence on diesel generation through the implementation of community energy efficiency projects and the construction of clean energy systems, such as hydro, wind and solar energy.

New! Please download the comprehensive RCI Program Guide for reference and for application instructions.
