Vancouver, British Columbia—Syntaris Power Corporation announced today it has obtained a Section 11 Order from the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) for the Kinskuch Hydro Project, a run of river project with storage capability in northwestern BC. This Order establishes the formal scope, procedures and methods for carrying out the project’s environmental assessment. The Application Information Requirements, once approved, sets out in detail the environmental, socio-economic and other related studies that must be completed to obtain an environmental assessment certificate.
The Kinskuch Hydro Project is a renewable energy project being developed by Syntaris Power Corporation and expected to generate an estimated 76 MW of energy. The project proposal is currently under consideration in the 2008 BC Hydro Call for Clean Power. The Kinskuch River Project will connect to the existing 138kV BC Hydro line between Meziadin and New Aiyansh.
“The Section 11 Order keeps momentum pushing forward in the development of the Kinskuch Hydro Project. The environmental assessment is an essential component to the project and Syntaris is committed to following the guidelines/recommendations in the order as outlined by the EAO,” says Robert Fraser, President and CEO of Syntaris Power Corporation.
More information regarding the environmental assessment process can be found on the EAO website.
