Atlin hydropower project to be expanded, tied into Yukon grid
For more than a decade, the Taku River Tlingit First Nation in Northern B.C. have been generating their own hydro power, which allowed the community of Atlin to phase out diesel generated power.
The Tlingit Homeland Energy Limited Partnership now plans an expansion that will increase the power station’s generating capacity to 8.5 MW – enough electricity to power 3,400 to 7,650 homes – and includes a 92-kilometre, 69-kilovolt transmission line to power other Tlingit communities in the Yukon, where diesel generators are still used to generate electricity.
"Atlin has enjoyed clean and renewable energy since 2009 because of our hydroelectric project,” TRTFN spokesperson Charmaine Thom said in a news release. "Renewable-energy projects are helping remote communities reduce the use of diesel for electricity generation, which reduces air pollution, improves environmental outcomes and creates local jobs," said Bruce Ralston, minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.
