Starting July 6, 2026, BC Hydro customers can register for free smart thermostats under Power Smart 2.0, with delivery beginning in October 2026. BC Hydro has signed agreements with Canadian manufacturers Mysa and Sinopé, a sourcing decision the Province framed as keeping funds in Canada. The devices are valued at roughly $350 and target homes with electric baseboard heating. Thermostats arrive pre-enrolled in BC Hydro's Peak Saver program, with seasonal rewards of $50, or $100 for income-qualified customers.
