The largest purchase of green energy in British Columbia’s history will
provide about $800 million in private sector investment in 16 power projects,
and an
additional 1,800 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. “This is a significant
step in our plan to work with independent power producers and develop 50 per
cent of our new power supplies from clean energy sources,” said British Columbia’s
premier, Gordon Campbell.
Sixteen small-scale hydro, wind and other projects will be going forward in communities across the province, including Hope, Boston Bar, Castlegar, Revelstoke, Stewart, Port Alberni, Gold River, Holberg, Zeballos, Squamish, Mount Currie, Sechelt, Delta and Chilliwack.
