May 5, Canada: British Columbia announced a second call for power, targeting 5,000 gigawatt-hours per year. The initiative focuses on large, clean, and renewable energy projects.
The aim is to secure enough power to supply 500,000 new homes. This follows the initial call for new energy sources in April 2024, marking the first such request in 15 years.
The province seeks projects that can deliver power during peak demand and provide backup for intermittent renewable energy resources. This is part of a broader strategy to enhance energy security and sustainability.
