Toba Site Montrose Powerhouse East Toba Powerhouse Transmission Line Toba Inlet Project Overview
Toba Site Project Overview 3
Installed capacity of the two projects will be 196 MW with expected average energy generation of 745 GW.h/yr. • These projects will have the potential to produce enough electricity for • 75,000 homes • will potentially displace an estimated 455,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually. • This is the equivalent of • taking 80,000 cars off the road per year or • planting 60,000 hectares of trees. Environment 4
Environmental Involvement/Challenges: • High priority for key stakeholders (Owner, Agencies, First Nations, Local Communities) • Operational Challenges • Camp Waste, Batch Plant Operations, Fuel / Oil Storage • Species at Risk • goats, grizzly bears, Northern Goshawks, Marbeled Murrelets, Fish and amphibians Environment
