Our r fir irst t Hyd ydro ro Pro roject ect • TRT as developers – A two decade old idea – Had several ‘almost’ proponents – TRT took charge, we had no money but had a strong idea and belief, and we developed relationships – We knew we needed to build for Atlin, and plan to expand later
Relatio ationships nships • TRT formed new relationships with BC Hydro to complete a Community Energy Plan (CEP), with BC & Canada • With our partners we were able to develop capacity and carry out ever increasingly complex prjcts successfully • These successes reinforced our belief and commitment to own 100% of our project • The expansion will be significantly bigger and we will likely be looking for partners as we move forward
Ow Ownersh ership ip • In the first project TRT invested the money it had, a buck or two • TRT formed a company to carry out the project and then the Taku River Tlingit Government stepped back and let its corporate people go to work • Xeitl Limited Partnership built the first project • Tlingit Homeland Energy Limited is the proponent in the expansion
Res espon ponsib sibili ilities ties • TRTFN never allowed XLP one moment of relief from their responsibilities to the environment, to the Tlingit people, and to TRT • XLP had to pay all costs TRT incurred as a result of the XLP development in TRT territory • This will hold true for THEL and the expansion project as well
The Expansion Project • Approximate 5MW ‘modified’ run of river • 32 sq km lake (Surprise Lake) is main source • Surprise Lake natural annual rise is 1 meter • Twin existing 4 km 48” HDPE and steel penstock • Twin exisitng 2 pelton turbines but will be slightly larger output 3-4MW • Downstream 2MW installation • 100 km power line to connect to Yukon grid • Will diminish Yukon GHG emissions by 14,000 tonnes annually for the life of the project
