Starting today, it’s going to cost you a bit more to pay for power.

BC Hydro rates are going up by four per cent.

Hydro says because of the province’s growing population, demand for power is doing the same and it must invest money into B.C.’s aging electricity system, which was built in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

The jump means about four dollars a month extra per customer.
