British Columbia’s power utility says it should have been more proactive about ballooning costs on the massive Site C hydroelectric dam project, partly blaming a failure to budget for “low-probability, high-consequence risks.”

BC Hydro says in a “lessons learned report” to the British Columbia Utilities Commission that it’s on track to complete the project on the Peace River within a $16 billion budget.
