Updates to Energy Objectives in the Clean Energy Act

British Columbia
Changes of potential relevance to the geothermal energy industry include:

• “Adding a new objective to ensure that BC Hydro is ready to acquire enough electricity to meet B.C.’s long-term climate targets under the Climate Change Accountability Act.​
  
  
• “Amending the existing objective that 93% of the electricity generated in B.C. needs to come from clean or renewable electricity generation (which the province has surpassed) to a target of 100% by 2030 for the integrated grid. This will not affect remote communities or the use of gas-fired electricity generation as emergency back up, or the use of natural gas for other needs, such as home heating.” (EMLI)
