CANADA – Energy regulator rejects FortisBC’s $327M application for natural gas pipeline (Bureaucrats run amok)
The B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) has rejected an application from FortisBC to build a natural gas pipeline worth $327 million in the Okanagan region.
FortisBC, the main natural gas utility in the province, said the OCU project was needed to meet demand in the southern Interior over the next two decades.
the BCUC — the province’s independent energy regulator — found that FortisBC did not account for a flattening, or even a downturn, of the demand for natural gas as the province moves away from fossil-fuel-based energy sources under its CleanBC plan.
Another example of bureaucrats shoving their green agenda down the throats of companies……..to match the desired narrative
