Mystery
20 years have passed since the idea of an offshore windfarm was conceived.
So here we are today. Talk of a hydrogen hub. LNG projects lukewarm, but still alive. First Nations taking the initiative. I notice a lot of talk about this region industrial-wise, but it's talk. The Golden Triangle to the north. BC Hydro already did a transmission line through the region.
Kitimat LNG stopped, but BC Hydro said it has enough power for that also if and when an interconnection is upgraded.
KSI Lisims LNG will have plenty of power from BC Hydro.
So what are Northland/Oceanic pursuing which is regional in scope? It can't be a simple plan as everything has to tie into BC Hydro grid and have back-up provisions. A 600MW project, plus the initial infrastructure.... at least a billion dollars?
And can electricity be provided at a competitive industrial rate to end users.
Worth waiitng for, if only for the curiousity.
