SKOOKUM CREEK - 16 MW

Skookum Creek is a tributary to the Mamquam River located approximately 4 km east of Raffuse Creek and 13 km from Squamish, BC. The project is located in the Coast Mountain range and is in a temperate rainforest, geoclimatic zone. Skookum Creek is slated for development by Run of River Power following Raffuse Creek, or in tandem.

Skookum Creek captures a drainage area of approximately 53 square kilometres. The project design flow of 3.8 cumecs would produce approximately 70,000 MWh of green energy per annum. The project consists of an intake at 820m which feeds a 6,400m penstock, with 300m of head delivering enough water pressure to drive a 16.0 MW plant capacity.

Skookum Creek lies within the Squamish First Nation traditional territory as does Raffuse Creek and Crawford Creek and as such Run of River's existing relationship with the Squamish Nation will be beneficial.
