Projects

Hawkeye Energy Corporation is proposing to build 12 runof- river hydroelectric generation facilities with a combined capacity of 151 MW in the Toba Inlet, Powell River and Jervis Inlet drainage basins. Depending on the selected route to Malaspina Substation, 135-150 km of 230 kV transmission system will be built.

Kleana Power Corporation, a company of Dr. Alexander Eunall, proposes to develop a hydroelectric project on the east branch of the Klinaklini River, above its confluence with Dorothy Creek, near the head of Knight Inlet. Proposed average generating capacity will be 280 MW with 800 MW during high flow conditions. The site is located on the mainland coast, 150 km north of Campbell River. A 10.3 metre tunnel, 17.25 km long, will conduct water from the diversion point to the powerhouse. The project includes a proposed 230 kV transmission line of 180 km, with aerial crossing of Johnstone Strait, to Campbell River.

Plutonic Power Corporation proposes to construct three hydroelectric projects located at the head of Toba Inlet, approximately 100 km north of Powell River, BC with a total installed capacity of 133 MW. Major components include Dalgleish Creek (30 MW), Jimmie Creek (56 MW), and Upper Toba River (47 MW). The produced energy will be conveyed via approximately 2.3 km of transmission line for interconnection to the 230 kV transmission line serving the East Toba and Montrose River Hydroelectric Project. A full description of the project is included in the company's application for an Environmental Assessment

Plutonic Power Corporation states that the Knight Inlet Project consists of six generation facilities and will generate a nominal 247 megawatts (MW). It has not been submitted to a BC Hydro call for power.

Plutonic Power Corporation lists Freda Creek among its generation projects. Freda Creek is just north of Earl's Cove. The project could have a nominal capacity of 35 megawatts (MW), though the company has not submitted it yet to any of BC Hydro's calls for power.

Plutonic Power Corporation is now building the East Toba River and Montrose Creek generation facilities. East Toba has a nominal capacity of 123 megawatts (MW), and Montrose Creek will be 73 MW for a total of 196 MW. 148 km of transmission line is to be built from Toba Inlet to Earl's Cove, and 60 km of access roads. A full description of the project is included in the company's application for an Environmental Assessment

Plutonic Power Corporation(1) is proposing to construct the largest cluster of hydroelectric projects ever built in British Columbia, on streams feeding into Bute Inlet. The company claims it will have a "nameplate" capacity of 1027 megawatts (MW) - 10% of the total hydroelectric generating capacity in BC Hydro's legacy dams - from 17 powerhouses.
