Project Experience

As part of its long term planning program and goal of reducing its dependence on externally supplied electricity (and associated market pricing risks), the City of Penticton contract a survey of potential hydroelectric and thermal resources. The study evaluated eight (8) potential hydroelectric sites and the use of natural gas and biomass to fuel a thermal generation site. The evaluation included an assessment of the technical viability, economic viability, environmental impacts and social impacts of each potential project. Scope of services include:

• Midgard produced technical document summarizing the technical viability, economic feasibility, environmental impacts and social impacts of the different hydroelectric and thermal generation options.
• Development risks and challenges were also identified along with a development plan for potentially feasible generation assets.
