Long Lake Hydro Project
Long Lake Generation Station, a Joint Venture Partnership with Premier Power Corporation, is approx. 31 MW hydroelectric project located on Cascade Creek near the border of British Columbia and Alaska.
The Long Lake reservoir will be redeveloped and will feed into a 7.2 km long penstock, which will convey flows to a powerhouse and turbines configured to optimize firm generation throughout the year.
The balance of the on-site project facilities will use existing service roads and local infrastructure.
As with all of Regional Power’s hydroelectric projects, we have invested considerable time in researching the Project and meeting with community leaders to understand the risks and opportunities available to this site.
It is expected that the development of Long Lake Hydro Project will improve the water quality of the Cascade Creek & Salmon River by providing more flows during the critical winter months to dilute effluents from the past mining operations in the area provide a “win-win” technical solution for the community and all the partners in the Project.
In 2010, the Long Lake project was awarded an EPA with BC Hydro under the Clean Power Call.
