Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, has issued the following statement:

Remote First Nation communities in B.C. will soon be eligible for financial support to transition from diesel to clean energy.

British Columbians will pay less for electricity next spring if the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) approves BC Hydro’s request for a decrease in rates.

To ensure BC Hydro is working for British Columbians, government is launching Phase 2 of the BC Hydro review, focusing on CleanBC electrification targets, new technologies, new roles for Indigenous Nations and examining future market opportunities.

Eleven building projects have been selected as winners in a juried competition to support the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings.

With British Columbians eager to get behind the wheel of a clean energy vehicle (CEV), the government is releasing another $26.5 million and making changes to its popular CEVforBC rebate program to meet ongoing demand.

Burnaby’s AVL Fuel Cell Canada will receive $147,000 to further develop B.C.’s clean energy vehicle (CEV) sector, create good jobs and support low-carbon innovation.

Richmond-based IRDI Systems will receive $55,000 to further develop B.C.’s clean energy vehicle (CEV) sector, create good jobs and support low-carbon innovation.

Eagle Graphite will receive $290,000 to further develop B.C.’s clean energy vehicle (CEV) sector, create good jobs and support low-carbon innovation.
