A 40-year power sales contract has also been signed with BC Hydro for the Jamie Creek project, which is a run-of-the river power station.
Boralex president and CEO Patrick Lemaire said that the company has over 20 years of experience in building and operating hydroelectric assets, which it leveraged to complete the new Jamie Creek project and will also continue leveraging over the asset’s lifetime.
The station also features two water intakes, comprising of a bypass line of over 1.1km and a penstock pipe of over 2.6 km, supplying the two Pelton turbines.
"The commissioning of Jamie Creek is a perfect fit with our growth strategy aimed primarily at hydroelectric and wind power assets covered by long-term contracts," Lemaire added.
"It also expands our footprint in British Columbia, where Boralex now has 36.5 MW of hydroelectric power and is actively pursuing development efforts."
