Project Overview

The Upper Toba Valley Hydroelectric Project consists of three renewable green power facilities to be constructed at the headwaters of the Toba Inlet on Jimmie Creek, Dalgleish Creek and the Upper Toba River. Installed capacity of the three facilities is estimated to be 166.3 MW with an expected annual energy generation of 452 GW hr/yr. When built, these facilities have the potential to produce electricity for over 45,000 homes and the ability to displace approximately 300,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases (GHG) annually. This is the equivalent of taking 58,000 cars off the road per year or planting 45,000 hectares of trees.*

    • *Based upon 0.34 T/MWh Co2 emissions for a gas fired plant and 1.0 T/MWh for a coal fired plant displacement with a 50/50 coal/gas split and 6.5 tonnes of Co2 absorbed per hectare of trees/year.
