BC Hydro is planning to invest approximately $30 million in a major new electrical substation between Buckley Bay and Union Bay. The tender has closed for the construction of substation pad for Buckley Bay Substation site and an access road for Buckley Bay Substation site with three submissions: Hazelwood Construction Services Inc.; Palladian Developments Inc.; and Upland Excavating Ltd. This new substation is required in order to reliably meet the growing demand for electricity in Comox Valley. The valley is currently supplied by two distribution substations northeast of Courtenay - Comox and Puntledge - both of which will exceed their capacity very soon. The new substation at Buckley Bay will resolve the long term supply constraints in the area, while providing safe and reliable energy for years to come. This project is expected to be completed by October, 2013. First Report: April 6, 2011 Last Report: May 2, 2012

The Environmental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency have approved guidelines for the Raven Underground Coal Project. The guidelines incorporate input from First Nations, the public and governments. Independent scientists approved the framework from which information about potential effects on the environment, transportation, heritage resources and other factors will be gathered. The Raven Underground Coal Project, planned for a site five kilometres west of the Buckley Bay ferry terminal, proposes to include a 200 hectare mine site, which will house all buildings and facilities and a 3,100 hectare underground mine. The company proposes to transport coal from the mine by truck along existing highways to Port Alberni. This is an 80 kilometre route. Port upgrading work at Port Alberni is to be conducted by the proponent to enable shipment of coal offshore. The company predicts the project will generate $1.1 billion for the North Island economy, creating 200 jobs during construction and 350 full-time jobs once the mine is operational.
