RAFFUSE CREEK - 9.9 MW

Raffuse Creek is a tributary to the Mamquam River located approximately 9 km east of Squamish, BC. The project is located in the Coast Mountain range and is in a temperate rainforest, geo-climatic zone.

 

Raffuse Creek captures a drainage area of approximately 26 square kilometres. The project design flow of 4.0 cumecs would produce approximately 36,500 MWh of green energy per annum. The project consists of an intake at 310m which feeds a 4,445m penstock, with 290m of head delivering enough water pressure to drive a 9.9 MW plant capacity.
