B.C. Hydro is expanding renewable energy but has rejected a proposed wind farm near Houston.
The 5,000-hectare KLO site, southeast of the Bulkley Valley, was not granted a purchase agreement in last December’s call for power proposals.
The project, still in the investigative stage, was one of 11 wind submissions denied.
Energy Minister Adrian Dix says the government is working with Hydro, First Nations, and proponents to get approved projects generating power quickly.
At a December Houston council meeting, questions about a nearby wind farm went unanswered due to council policy on public input sessions.
