The 25MW Mamquam project will utilize the flow of Skookum Creek to generate annual green energy for roughly 9,500 homes and will create 140 direct and indirect jobs for local and First Nation communities. The project, located 70 kilometres from Vancouver, is part of the larger Mamquam Power Cluster.
Jako Krushnisky, president and CEO of ROR Power, said: “We are delighted that our project has been selected and look forward to successful negotiations with BC Hydro in the weeks ahead. We are committed to helping BC meet its goal of energy self sufficiency and are proud to be a part of the sustainable energy solution mandated by the province.”
In addition, ROR Power is actively pursuing a number of renewable energy initiatives. The company intends to submit its 60MW Tsilhquot’in and 30MW Suskwa biomass projects to BC Hydro’s Bionenergy Call, Phase 2, announced earlier this year. Further, and in conjunction with the Katzie First Nation, the company plans to continue development of its 155MW Upper Pitt cluster in preparation for BC Hydro’s next call for power.
