Province Updates Act to Prioritize Affordability, Clean Energy
The Province is updating B.C.’s energy objectives in the Clean Energy Act to help ensure that people and businesses continue to have access to affordable, clean electricity needed to power a growing economy, while reducing carbon pollution. “With costs rising across the country at rates that are unsustainable for many people, we are focused on keeping the cost of clean electricity as low as possible,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. “Affordable, stable BC Hydro rates are good for households, businesses and climate as we work together to power B.C.’s growing economy with clean energy instead of fossil fuels.”
