David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, holds a press conference in Victoria to announce a series of investments in energy conservation, called Power Smart 2.0. The program includes free smart thermostats for homes with electric-baseboard heating, increased financial support for energy-efficient low-income households, and a new mobile app to help track energy usage and possible rebates, among other things.

The Premier is accompanied by Adrian Dix (provincial minister of energy), George Anderson (MLA for Nanaimo-Lantzville), Charlotte Mitha (president and CEO of BC Hydro), and Dave Mix & Jaclyn D’Souza (spokespeople for BC Hydro).

Premier Eby also takes questions from the media on a variety of topics including his upcoming meeting with PM Carney, the ongoing debate over a proposed new pipeline, and the BC Sports Hall of Fame being ejected from its exhibit space by FIFA for the upcoming World Cup.
