Wind Energy: Peace Region, BC
Thanks to the communities of Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge for hosting our public consultation open houses in May. One open house and two stakeholder meetings were held in each community to update our four proposed wind projects.
For a review of the meetings and the information, please read the Community Consultation Summary Report.
The purpose of the consultation was to:
- Ensure that local residents and businesses are as well informed as possible about our proposed wind projects.
- Ensure that Finavera Renewables is aware of the potential impacts from the proposed projects so they can be considered and appropriately addressed during the project design and environmental assessment.
- Create and opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed projects.
More than 75 individuals participated and we were pleased to see that over 93% of participants supported wind energy as an alternative source of energy for British Columbia. While this consultation process is complete, we look forward to continuing to work with the communities as the projects progress through design and environmental assessment review. We also look forward to our next consultation, to be scheduled at a later date.
