B.C. expands heat-pump rebate program as end of carbon tax weighs on CleanBC

April 9, 2025
British Columbia Energy Minister Adrian Dix says the province will have to “make choices” on programs within its CleanBC initiative given the repeal of the consumer carbon tax.Dix told a news conference related to heat pumps that the New Democrat government is working with the provincial Greens to look at CleanBC, under an agreement between the two parties, on top of a budgetary review of the initiative.But Dix also said the repeal of the consumer carbon levy earlier this month does not take away from the province’s commitment to fight climate change.
