British Columbia Approves Site C Dam

The government of British Columbia has approved the Site C Clean Energy Project on the Peace River. Premier Christy Clark said the project would provide the province with reliable, clean power for the next century.

As quoted in the government press release:

As the third project on the Peace River, the firm energy it provides will support the development of more independent power projects (IPPs) by backing-up intermittent resources, such as wind. IPPs currently provide 25% of B.C.’s electricity and will continue to play a vital role in meeting the province’s energy needs.
