Whereas electrification of industrial operations presents an opportunity to help meet British Columbias climate objectives and grow British Columbias resource sectors; And whereas inadequate grid capacity, slow interconnection processes, and high industrial power rates are major barriers to electrification, delaying projects and increasing costs: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the provincial government to expand grid capacity, streamline interconnection processes, and ensure competitive industrial power rates to support industrial electrification.
