Invenergy’s Mount McDonald Wind Project is a proposed clean
energy project near Port Edward, BC. Located in the resource
development hub of British Columbia’s North Coast, this
renewable power project is poised to help offset industrial GHG
emissions by providing a sustainable and lasting solution for LNG
development in the area. Bridge Power (formerly Rupert Peace
Power Corporation) has been developing the project since 2007.
It sold the project to Invenergy in 2015 and is retained to manage
the development to construction. The project will generate
150-200 MW of clean electricity to the BC Hydro grid. Invenergy's Clean Energy Solution for British Columbia’s North Coast
CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE“The Government of Canada is embarking on a new challenge: planning the transition to a low-carbon energy future through the use of innovative clean technologies, renewable resources and energy efficiency. We believe that collaboration is essential to answering this challenge. Together with Indigenous communities and other partners, our government will continue the dialogue to ensure a bright future for Canadians through
the sustainable development of our energy resources.”Jim Carr, Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, News Release, February 10, 2016
FIRST NATIONS Supportive relationships with Lax Kw’alaams, Metlakatla and
Gitxaala First Nations Protective and respectful of natural habitat, wildlife and land-use Economic opportunity through construction, long-term
employment and impact benefit agreements
CLEAN TECH AND INNOVATION Project will use new generation, best-in-class GE turbines Up to 30 MW of storage could be integrated to firm energy output Smart turbines integrate storage, forecasting, and controls for
tailored, site-specific needs
AFFORDABILITY Per unit cost of energy continues to decline Competitive rates now, made more affordable over time Comparable with gas over next 10 years: CPI projections
REDUCING GHGs Provides a long-term solution to offsetting industrial emissions Transferring Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to LNG facilities
would offset GHGs: • Mount McDonald Project, alone, could offset 420,000 tCO2e annually • Combined with two additional sister projects the wind power generated could offset ~1,200,000 tCO2e annually
Invenergy acquired four other wind sites in NE B.C., all of which could serve to electrify upstream gas resources
The Mount McDonald project team has been working with local First Nations, community members and local business since its inception in 2007. With eight years of wind data collected to date, the project is aiming to receive its Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) by late 2017. While the project was recently acquired by Invenergy in 2015, the original B.C.-based team members at Bridge Power (formerly Rupert Peace Power Corporation) will continue to work with stakeholders to deliver the project.
ABOUT INVENERGYThe world's largest independent, privately-held renewable energy provider, Invenergy develops, owns and operates utility-scale projects. In addition to wind, company assets include solar, gas and energy storage solutions with a portfolio of more than 12,000 MW of projects in advanced development, construction and operation. The company operates in the United States, Canada and Europe.With a proven track record of developing and operating a wide range of utility-scale projects, Invenergy has recently signed corporate power purchase agreements with Google, 3M and Equinix Data Centers to provide clean energy to power their operational assets. Invenergy was also instrumental in negotiating a 2016 tri-partite agreement between Hydro Quebec, Anbaric and National Grid to deliver clean electricity to New England. The structure will see Invenergy construct a 400 MW wind farm in New York state, deliver the power to New England, and firm that power into the U.S. with Canadian hydro electricity from Quebec.
ABOUT WIND POWER GENERATION IN CANADAWind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of green energy around the world. The renewable energy generated by these projects ensures long-term, affordable and domestic clean energy solutions to the regions in which they operate. Wind energy projects are relatively small in footprint, minimizing the environmental impact and effect on habitat and wildlife. Many successful utility-scale wind projects have been developed in other provinces including Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, but despite its powerful wind resource, development in British Columbia is lagging behind the rest of Canada. Today, B.C. uses only 500 MW of wind energy capacity; when compared to the 11,000 MW installed across Canada, B.C. is clearly capable of producing much more.
