[edit] Projects
Its proposed 40 run of river hydroelectric development projects have a design capacity of nearly 2,000 MW with the potential to generate approximately 5000 GWh per annum of green energy - enough energy to meet the annual energy needs of over 500,000 homes.
Included in the 40 projects is the creation of the Green Power Corridor, a series of non-storage hydroelectric projects in southwestern BC, which hold the potential to bring British Columbia to the forefront of green energy generation in North America. The completion of the corridor would create approximately 4,000 person-years of employment.
[edit] East Toba River and Montrose Creek
The Toba Montrose General Partnership has started construction on the the Toba River energy development located 100 km North of Powell River, British Columbia, Canada. Construction services for the 196 MW run of river project is overseen by Peter Kiewit Inc. a subsidiary of the Kiewit Corporation and will produce 745 GWh/a of electricity and at an approximate cost of $660,000,000.[2] Once complete it will be the largest private funded renewable energy project in British Columbia history.[citation needed]
[edit] Bute Inlet
The Bute Inlet Hydroelectric project[3] consists of 17 facilities at the headwaters of Bute Inlet, located about 150-200 km north of Powell River, British Columbia. Combined, these facilities have a potential capacity of 1027 MW with potential energy generation of 2905 GWh per year.
[edit] Upper Toba Valley
The Upper Toba Valley Hydroelectric project[4] consists of three renewable green power facilities to be constructed at the headwaters of the Toba Inlet on Jimmie Creek, Dalgleish Creek and the Upper Toba River. Installed capacity of the three facilities is estimated to be 166.3 MW with an expected annual energy generation of 452 GW hr/yr.
