Industry Leaders

British Columbia is blessed with a consistent and abundant supply of fast running water, the renewable resource necessary for non storage hydroelectric green power production.



The locations of Plutonic Power’s projects were chosen for the attributes necessary for successful, stable renewable hydroelectric power production: a combination of high rainfall with large drainage basin areas resulting in high unit runoff and steep terrain resulting in high head flow with a short penstock feed. The locations were also chosen for their minimal environmental, recreational and visual impacts.

British Columbia has been a net importer of electricity for over five years. The province is actively engaged with industry to develop domestic power generation. Plutonic Power’s green power projects are significant enough to have an impact on the needs of the province and help British Columbia return to electrical self-sufficiency.

Twenty four of Plutonic Power’s project sites fall within an area that the Company has dubbed “The Green Power Corridor” (GPC). Completion of the Green Power Corridor, at an estimated capital cost of approximately $3 to $4 Billion, would be one of the largest single private sector green electrical generation investments made in British Columbia, creating over 3800 person-years of employment and launching the province to the forefront of green energy generation in North America.

The Company’s flagship project, the 196 MW East Toba and Montrose project, commenced construction in July 2007. Completion of the project is expected in 2010.  It’s first wind energy facility, Dokie Ridge, is now under construction as well.  The wind-farm’s first phase will consist of 48 towers, each capable of generating 3 megawatts of power.  Once all project phases are complete, close to 100 turbines capable of generating 300 megawatts will stand in this very windy region of North-eastern British Columbia.
