The federal government has announced a $156.8 million investment in electrical infrastructure projects throughout British Columbia via the Green Infrastructure Stream. This funding aims to increase the transfer capacity of the existing 500 kV transmission line from Prince George to Terrace and enable the full electrification of the Surrey Hospital, BC Cancer Centre, and Cowichan District Hospital. In the Peace River region, a new transmission line and substation will support Westcoast Energy’s CS16 facility. These projects are expected to help meet growing electricity demands and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
