City scrubs power sale option
Poll
Yes
A sale will not be considered as part of a current review of the City of Medicine Hat’s power plant, according to a statement from Mayor Ted Clugston and senior officials on Monday afternoon.
Last month the utility department announced it was conducting a strategic review to determine the potential effect of growing renewable supply on its export sales of gas-fired power.
However, the inclusion of a potential sale of the municipally owned power plant or partnership between a new private sector owner and the city-retained distribution company became a lightning rod of controversy.
