BC’s Clean Energy Act (the Act) received royal assent on June 3, 2010. As previously reported in our Green News, the Act provides a foundation for the province to meet its stated goals of electricity self-sufficiency by 2016, job creation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The details of the various initiatives, including a feed-in tariff program, under the Act will be developed through regulations and it is anticipated that these regulations could be ready by as early as fall 2010.
