FortisBC is a Canadian-owned, B.C.-based company that delivers safe, reliable and affordable energy, including natural gas, electricity, Renewable Natural Gas1 and propane, to nearly 1.3 million customers in 135 B.C. communities, and 58 First Nations communities across 150 Traditional Territories.

1 Renewable Natural Gas (also called RNG or biomethane) is produced in a different manner than conventional natural gas. It is derived from biogas, which is produced from decomposing organic waste from landfills, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. The biogas is captured and cleaned to create RNG. When RNG is added to North America’s natural gas system, it mixes with conventional natural gas. This means we’re unable to direct RNG to a specific customer. But the more RNG is added to the gas system, the less conventional natural gas is needed, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuels and overall greenhouse gas emissions.
