Site C Peace River hydro study outlines run of river option
Hydro outlines plans to study a Site C project on the Peace River as a potential run of the river facility with minimal flooding. The 155 foot river drop over about 50 miles could yield more power than Site One's 700 megawatts. Public meetings and an Environmental Impact Statement will precede any license application and hearings. Public discussion will occur in fall with potential hearings by the Comptroller of Water Rights if licensed.
