Calgary Herald:Plutonic leads private power `gold rush` (Nov 23, 2007)
http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/c...96-9fe24440784b
QUOTE Plutonic Power Corp. invited B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, native chiefs and other officials to this remote valley 105 kilometres northeast of Powell River on Vancouver Island to flick the switch on the largest private power-generation project in B.C. history.
...
The $660-million East Toba/Montrose run-of-river hydroelectric project -- one of 34 similar power projects in this region known as the Green Power Corridor -- is expected to generate 745 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year. That`s enough power to run about 75,000 homes.
If the rest of the power corridor is developed at an estimated cost of $3 billion, Plutonic ultimately expects to generate enough energy to power 500,000 homes
...
A new 230-kilovolt, 150-kilometre transmission line will be built to link the Green Power Corridor with B.C. Hydro`s electrical grid at Saltery Bay, about 25 kilometres east of Powell River.
...
The Toba River project is among 38 contracts B.C. Hydro awarded in July 2006 to independent power producers, including 29 hydro, three wind, two biomass, two waste heat and two coal/biomass projects totalling about 7,000 gigawatt hours of energy per year.
