Northeast transmission line would create 'energy corridor' that could boost our clean power exports, Liberals say - Vaughn Palmer - Vancouver Sun

Following the push to build a new transmission line into northwestern B.C., the provincial Liberals want to extend the power grid to the northeast as well, as part of what they are calling a "northern energy corridor."

"New transmission infrastructure will link northeastern B.C. to our integrated grid," declared the speech from the throne last week.

The move was touted as a way to "provide clean power to the energy industry" and to "open up new capacity for clean power exports to Alberta and Saskatchewan."
