http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/business/story.html?id=69b04943-2f8f-4c87-aac9-8e07b002bdeaBC Hydro's hunger for green power reached new heights on Wednesday with a call for private sector development of 5,000 gigawatt hours of new electricity.
It's the first major call for power since 2006, and the first major green power call in five years.
Hydro is asking independent power producers to develop enough power to light 500,000 homes. Responses to previous major calls yielded more bids than what Hydro was seeking to purchase, although not all approved projects carry through to delivery.

The new call is for "proven technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar and geothermal energy, among others," Hydro said in a news release.
