Three agreements were announced recently for new developments near West Kelowna, Summerland and Taylor that will provide enough electricity to power 14,000 homes a year.
The agreements, with White Rock-based developer Zero Emission Energy Developments Inc., were signed under BC Hydro’s Standing Offer program – a program that offers a simplified, streamlined procurement process for small clean energy projects in British Columbia.
The three projects will add about 45 megawatts of clean wind capacity to BC HydroÂ’s system. Once built, the projects will bring BC HydroÂ’s total capacity of wind power to more than 700 megawatts.
Construction is scheduled to start late spring or early summer and will take about 18 months. Construction for each project will create between 25 and 50 job opportunities.
BC Hydro now has energy purchase agreements for 20 projects under the Standing Offer program that include solar, wind, biomass, biogas and hydro power. To be eligible, projects must be 15 megawatts or less in size.
