British Columbia is proposing changes to its electricity rules that would prioritize certain industries while others would have to bid for access to a set amount of power.

B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix tabled legislation on Oct. 20 that would prioritize the province’s electricity supply for natural resource projects, like mining, upstream natural gas, and LNG, as well as manufacturing projects.
