KAMLOOPS — With winter temperatures plummeting to well below average, some BC Hydro bills may be reaching new heights. 

The Crown corporation is trying to ease some of the financial strain that the colder than normal temperatures are causing. 

BC Hydro spokesperson Mora Scott says customers will be granted the choice to spread their payments out. 

“We’ve actually decided to reintroduce our Winter Payment Plan,” Scott said. “We first introduced this plan last year and it was quite successful. Basically, the plan gives our residential customers the choice to spread their bill payments over a six month period, which can really help a lot of them manage their bills.”
