FortisBC Proposes to Provide 100 Percent Renewable Gas to All New Homes
Under a new proposal put forward by FortisBC Energy Inc. to the British Columbia Utilities Commission, every newly constructed home connecting to the gas system would automatically receive 100 percent renewable gas for the lifespan of the building. The approval of this proposal would mark a new era in the evolution of the company's renewable energy programs.
If approved, this change would provide home builders, real estate developers and new home owners with another path to meet provincial GHG emission reduction targets.
