White River Hydro Project
Ontario, Canada
The Long Lake Hydro Project is a 31-megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric project with storage capacity located on Cascade Creek near Stewart, British Columbia. Long Lake is capable of producing enough clean energy to meet the needs of approximately 16,000 homes in the province each year.
The facility was built with the cooperation of local First Nations groups and its development has improved the water quality of the Cascade Creek & Salmon River by diluting effluents from past mining operations during the critical winter months.
