The province, BC Hydro and a private energy company have inked a deal to save a power plant in Williams Lake .

The facility generates enough electricity to power about 50,000 homes by burning biomass.

Atlantic Power gave notice last February that it was going to pull out of the community, citing a lack of cost-effective local fibre.
