Run of River Power Inc. is a developer of green, environmentally friendly, renewable energy.

The Corporation reached a milestone in 2005 with the completion of its first "run of river" hydroelectric generation plant at Brandywine Creek near Whistler, British Columbia. The 7.6 MW capacity plant is currently providing power to over 4,000 homes annually through a power purchase agreement with BC Hydro and is "EcoLogo" certified. ...

 

Run of River Power will experience extraordinary growth during this decade, positioned in an industry that is marked by increasing demand steadily exceeding supply. Energy pricing is driven by our ever increasing energy demands, escalating costs of developing the earth's hydrocarbon resources and a fundamental shift in society's concern over greenhouse gas emissions (GHG's).

Run-of-River Hydroelectric

The Corporation is developing five run-of-river project clusters totaling 691 MW of potential capacity. Two clusters (Mamquam and Upper Pitt), located in adjacent water sheds near Whistler, British Columbia will add approximately 213 MW of installed capacity with estimated gross revenues in excess of $80 million, when completed. Three development clusters located in the central BC area represents over 478 MW of additional capacity. These projects are slated for mid to long term development.

Biomass Opportunity

Run of River recently acquired Western Biomass Power Corp., a private company who intends to build a series of wood fired plants using pine beetle killed trees, decadent forest material as well as logging and sawmill wastes to create firm electricity. The Company has two large-scale projects under development, which include the 60 MW Tsilhqot’In power plant to be located near Williams Lake, BC and the 30 MW Suskwa power plant proposed for New Hazelton, BC.
