Wind Energy Development in BC. Are wind energy projects viable in BC? To date no industrial- scale wind energy projects have been built in British Columbia. What does it take to establish wind energy in BC's sustainable energy future? This workshop looks at the key criteria required for large, industrial-scale wind energy development in BC.
