The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a group of indigenous leaders hopes to speed up plans by BC Hydro to twin a transmission line to expand hydroelectricity capacity on the B.C. North Coast. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that the project would help decarbonize production of liquefied natural gas, critical minerals and hydrogen, according to K'uul Power, which is seeking to foster collaboration between first nations and BC Hydro. Plans call for K'uul to forge a deal to obtain indigenous co-ownership of the proposed North Coast transmission project that would run along the existing route of BC Hydro's line between Prince George and Terrace. Representatives from 11 first nations in the province have signed an agreement to back K'uul's goals, including spurring electrification plans. Supporters of K'uul include the Nisga'a Nation, which supports Ksi Lisims LNG, and the Haisla Nation, which is the majority owner of Cedar LNG. However, Gitanyow hereditary chiefs have expressed climate concerns about both Ksi Lisims and its preferred pipeline partner, TC Energy's Prince Rupert Gas Transmission. Cedar, led by the Haisla with co-owner Pembina Pipeline, plans to operate a floating production facility.
