Project Objectives
Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government is investing in renewable energy solutions to reduce diesel generation in the Nemiah Valley. The purpose of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study is to design a shovel-ready project to generate hydropower on Klokon Creek utilizing Augers Lake for storage. The hydropower system will be integrated with the renewable energy microgrid supporting the central and west-end communities.
Expected Results
This project is expected to:
- Improve capacity of remote communities to implement low-carbon technology, reduce diesel fossil fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
- Increase renewable energy expertise by integrating hydro generation and storage onto the solar-battery-diesel remote microgrid.
