Senior Government Relations Advisor Clean Energy Association of British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
British Columbia is embarking on its first call for power in over a decade, with additional rounds of procurement expected every two years. Since the swearing in of Premier Eby in November 2022, there has been a political shift toward independent power production, with BC Hydro recognizing a need for new resources to meet growing energy demand stemming from new policies, including the “Energy Action Framework” and “Powering our Future” clean energy plan. As the BC provincial election approaches on October 19, the surging Conservative Party of BC, led by former BC Liberal minister John Rustad, is proposing even more significant changes to energy policy. Join Jack Magnus from the Clean Energy Association of British Columbia as he offers insights into the evolving energy landscape, the policy goals of the BC NDP and BC Conservatives, and how shifting provincial politics may impact BC’s future grid and economy.
