B.C.’s premier has confirmed the Site C energy project in northern B.C. will be completed.
John Horgan told a news conference Friday the decision was made after independent experts confirmed the project can be built and operated safely.
The premier said it will help power the province well into the future with clean energy and will keep power rates among the lowest in North America.
“Cancelling it when it was half done would have meant laying off 4,500 workers just as we’re coming out of pandemic and left the province with $10 billion in debt and nothing to show for it. That would have led to rapid increase in rates, on average of $216 dollar a year, starting right away which we were not prepared to do,” Horgan explained.
