Regional utility delivering natural gas, electricity, and propane across British Columbia
FortisBC operates a multi-fuel utility network serving 1.3 million customers across British Columbia, with over 2,700 employees managing natural gas, electricity, and propane infrastructure. The tech stack reflects traditional utility operations—SCADA for grid monitoring, SAP and Oracle Primavera for enterprise resource and project management, and heavy reliance on geospatial tools (ArcGIS suite, ArcFM) for pipeline and distribution asset management. Active hiring across engineering and operations suggests sustained capital expansion; project portfolio centers on transmission lines, pipeline standards, demand-side management, and energy retrofit programs, with explicit focus on GHG reduction and system resilience.

Beyond core energy delivery, FortisBC develops energy solutions including renewable natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and compressed natural gas (CNG) for transportation, alongside geothermal and district energy services. The organization operates under regulatory frameworks governing safety, affordability, and reliability while managing a portfolio of capital projects, demand-reduction initiatives, and system-integrity programs.
