The City of Williams Lake is pleased to acknowledge and express its appreciation to all parties involved in today’s (Friday, March 7) announcement of a resolution that supports the continued operation of Atlantic Power Corporation’s Williams Lake power plant.
This important resolution will sustain local jobs, support the local, provincial and federal economies and contribute to BC Hydro’s energy capacity, particularly during the winter months.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Province of British Columbia, BC Hydro and Atlantic Power for their dedication and hard work in securing this agreement,” Williams Lake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor said. “Since hearing of Atlantic Power Corporation’s plans to cease operations at its Williams Lake plant over a year ago we have been encouraging all parties to come together to find a solution, and we are thrilled to see a resolution that prioritizes our community, local workers and the continued operation of the essential facility.”
The agreement announced by BC Hydro today ensures the biomass plant remains operational, reinforcing its role in generating clean, reliable energy for the province while continuing to support the local economy.
“The City has worked extremely hard to support the continued operation of the Williams Lake power plant, and this agreement is a win for Williams Lake,” Rathor said. “We sincerely thank BC Hydro, Atlantic Power Corporation and the Province for their commitment to working through the issues and coming to a solution that benefits everyone.”
