Burrard Generating Station is a Natural Gas fired station built by BC Electric, owned by BC Hydro since 1961, located in Port Moody, British Columbia.
Description
The station consists of six 160 MW units; it serves to meet short term peak demands. Three units are held in standby, available on eight hours notice. The three active units are used for voltage regulation. A plant upgrade project was completed in 2003.[1][2] In 2001 it represented over 9% of BC Hydro's gross metered generation.[3]
BC Hydro shut down the station in 2016 after the completion of enough replacement capacity at the Mica Generating Station.[4]

The earliest experimental AM transmissions were begun in the early 1900s. However, widespread AM broadcasting was not established until the 1920s, following the development of vacuum tube receivers and transmitters. AM radio remained the dominant method of broadcasting for the next 30 years, a period called the "Golden Age of Radio", until television broadcasting became widespread in the 1950s and received most of the programming previously carried by radio.
