The agreement sets out the terms for the construction and commercial operation of the facilities.

The RDA between the Klahoose First Nation and Alterra Power builds upon the Klahoose First Nation’s Toba Montrose agreement.

The Upper Toba run-of-river hydro power project, which is an expansion of Alterra’s operations in the Toba Valley, will comprise two new run-of-river hydro power plants, at Jimmie Creek and the Upper Toba River, with a combined capacity of about 124MW.

Under a 40-year power purchase agreement, the project will sell the electricity generated to BC Hydro.
