BURST
What must be done to keep the lights on in B.C.?
Last year, about 25 per cent of the power we consumed was imported, primarily from the U.S. and Alberta. That’s more than double the annual output of the new Site C Dam.
The province’s energy system is stressed by many factors, including drought, a push toward electrification of transportation and home heating, and increased demand from new data centres fuelling artificial intelligence.
Join us tonight for Conversations Live with host Stuart McNish and an expert panel, who will explore how we can ensure a reliable energy supply that protects the environment.
You can watch the livestream here starting at 5:30 p.m., and submit your own questions and comments during the event below:
