Independent Power Projects, what do they mean to Campbell River's environment and BC Hydro's Clean Power Call?

Run-of-river projects at Mohun Creek and Adam River have made the initial cut within the BC Hydro Clean Power Call. The Bute Inlet Plutonic Power Coroporation project, even with intense scrutiny, has also been pushed forward. Are these viable solutions or a simple displacement of GHGs?

Final cuts will commence in December.


There are pros and cons to these projects. Check out the dabate:

There is also a CRSFAC meeting in 2 weeks that could provide you with yet more information:
