BC Is Blocking Needed First Nations Power Projects, Says Report | The Tyee https://thetyee.ca/News/2021/08/30/BC-Blocking-Needed-First-Nations-Power-Projects/ “The report found that #FirstNations owned, operated or co-partnered #RenewableEnergy projects that generate 13 per cent of B.C.’s electricity — an amount more than the future output of the #SiteC dam.”
“Many of those projects were spurred on decades ago through a #BCHydro program that provided contracts for small power projects selling to the provincial electrical grid.
That program was suspended indefinitely in 2019 by the #NDP government, which cited the oversupply of power and the high costs of independent power contracts. With limited opportunities to sell power on BC Hydro’s power lines, small-power projects face an uncertain future.”
