Analysis: British Columbia boosts power plan but electrifying LNG proving big challenge

British Columbia boosted its C$36 billion ($26.7 billion) plan to expand its grid over the next decade, but Canada's Pacific Coast province will still fall short of supplying the biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects with hydropower needed to avoid generating high emissions. Long regulatory processes mean a critical northern transmission line expansion will only be ready years after LNG plants start operating and droughts are already curbing British Columbia's (B.C.'s) power generation. B.C. boosted its electricity grid spending plans on Tuesday by 50%, as demand soars from industry for renewable hydropower and as the province switches to electric vehicles and electric heating in buildings.
