BC Hydro begins filling Site C dam's reservoir, a key step towards completing the $16B project in northeastern BC. Expected to take 2-4 months, the reservoir will cover 5,550 hectares of land and provide power for 500,000 homes or 1.7M electric vehicles. Construction is 85% complete, with first power generation planned for Dec. Public access will be restricted for a year post-filling due to land stabilization and floating debris.
