BC Hydro has received a strong response to its call for new renewable power-generation projects while it continues to build out and strengthen B.C.’s electricity grid, creating jobs and supporting clean growth in communities such as Vancouver.

Thirty-five First Nations throughout B.C. are receiving $9.8 million in federal and provincial funding to develop clean-energy projects that will help them meet their energy needs efficiently and sustainably, while creating more jobs for people in their communities.

The Province will implement a backstop to the federal cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector to support a clean-energy future for British Columbians.

New advanced chemical processes being developed and refined in British Columbia will give the mining industry a way to extract critical minerals with almost no net environmental impact, helping advance B.C.’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

With support from the Province, a B.C. clean-technology company is making a dent in the cost of heating and cooling buildings, cars and marine vessels with a new smart-window technology that automatically tints, based on what the sun is doing.  

Two Lower Mainland companies are helping B.C. transition to a clean-energy future by advancing the use of hydrogen technology, creating jobs and supporting B.C.’s Hydrogen Strategy.
