+ Waneta Expansion Project OVERVIEW:

The $900 million Waneta Expansion Project (scheduled for completion in spring 2015) will see the addition of a second powerhouse located immediately downstream of the Waneta on the Pend d’Oreille River, near Trail, BC. The expansion will share the existing hydraulic head and generate power from water that would otherwise be spilled. Output from the expansion will be delivered to BC Hydro’s Selkirk Substation through a new 10 km transmission line. The expansion will produce IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: + clean, renewable, cost-effective power for all British Columbians.

The Brilliant Dam and Generating Station, near The $270 million Arrow Lakes Generating Station The $270 million Brilliant Expansion Project saw Castlegar, BC, were purchased by Columbia Power Project saw the addition of a powerhouse located the addition of a second powerhouse located and Columbia Basin Trust for $130 million in 1996 immediately downstream of BC Hydro’s water immediately downstream of the Brilliant Dam and from Cominco (now Teck). $100 million has been storage Hugh Keenleyside Dam on the Columbia Generating Station on the Kootenay River, near invested in capital upgrade projects which include River, near Castlegar, BC. The powerhouse takes Castlegar, BC. The expansion shares the existing concrete rehabilitation, switch-yard replacement, advantage of the existing hydraulic head and hydraulic head and generates power from water that spillway gate refurbishment, seismic stabilization, generates power from water that would otherwise would otherwise be spilled. Together, the Brilliant and a generation repowering life extension be spilled. Output from the generating station is Expansion Generating Station and the Brilliant program. The Brilliant Dam and Generating Station connected to the Brilliant Terminal Station by a 14 Generating Station produce enough power to supply is considered to be one of Canada’s most reliable km transmission line and later is delivered to BC 100,000 homes annually. Output from the expansion facilities. Hydro’s Selkirk Substation. is linked to the Brilliant Terminal Station and later is delivered to BC Hydro’s Selkirk Substation through a 34 km transmission line.
