We have interests in 32 facilities in Canada and the U.S. totaling almost 3,800 MW of generation capacity.

Clean power generation in British Columbia

In BC, Capital Power operates four small hydro facilities, the 275 MW natural gas-fired Island Generation facility on Vancouver Island and one of North America’s largest biomass facilities in Williams Lake.

Established BC operations

Quality Wind Project description

Approximately 142 megawatt (MW) project near Highway 52

Vestas will supply and commission 79 1.8 MW wind turbines – 44 model V100 and 35 model V90

Limited environmental impacts – half of the project area has previous impacts from oil/gas activity, forestry logging, roads and a forest fire

Includes project substation and a 230 kV, 22 km overhead transmission line to Tumbler Ridge substation

Commercial operation anticipated by late 2012

Environment

Quarterly reports submitted to B.C. Environmental Assessment Office

Consulting firms ensure adherence to regulations: Hemmera (Environment), AMEC Arcas (Archeology), TECO (Forestry)

Traditional land use (TLU) and ecological knowledge (TEK) sites identified during EA process and incorporated into project design; steps taken to avoid these highly valued sites

Additional mitigation for road embankments, watercourse and wetland setbacks, use of existing roads and trails (to reduce footprint), and construction scheduled during “least risk” timing windows for wildlife

Palaeontological / archeological “chance encounter” procedures in place

“The cooperation between the museum and Capital Power has produced a result that serves as a nearly ideal example of how palaeontological heritage interests and industry can be accommodated in this province.” – Rich McCrea, Curator of Palaeontology at the PRPRC, November 2010

Attend safety meetings; provide recommendations to prime and sub-contractors

Perform inspections on all equipment / crew before entering and leaving the site (both from Environmental and Safety perspective)

Regularly monitor site for safety issues (e.g. PPE adherence)

Site visitor communication procedure in place

First drill of the Emergency Response Plan had very good results

Emergency response officials have expressed gratitude for early engagement in the process

Construction to-date

Surveying, flagging

Clearing and grubbing right-of-ways for roads, turbine foundations and transmission line

Geo-technical investigation – bore hole drilling at each turbine location

“I toured the Capital Power sites and was pleased to note how much attention they are paying to the environment.” – Tumbler Ridge Mayor Larry White, TR News (February 2011)
