B.C. Hydro approves 9 wind-power projects but pressure to build capacity remains
75% Informative
B.C. Hydro has approved nine new wind-power projects that are projected to increase its electrical capacity by eight per cent .
The province imported 25 per cent of its electricity needs in the 12 months ending March 31 .
Some experts say the province is struggling to meet its energy demands.
But the province has a ways to go before reaching its 2030 targets.
Conservative Leader John Rustad said there needs to be a renewed focus on a power mix that includes some fossil fuels, such as natural gas.
An energy economist disagrees with Penner ’s assertion that B.C. is already in an energy shortage.
Antweiler doesn’t doubt that provincial demand is set to skyrocket and the call for power is a step toward meeting that demand.
