NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

PROPOSED HOURGLASS CREEK WIND ENERGY CENTRE – TUMBLER RIDGE AREA,
PLUS INTENTION TO SUBMIT TO THE BC HYDRO 2025 CALL FOR POWER

BC Hydro 2025 Call for Power
BC Hydro has launched a new call for power for 2025 to competitively procure up to 5,000 GWh/year of affordable clean or renewable energy from new Independent Power Producer energy resources. The Call for Power is structured to help ensure British Columbia has sufficient energy to meet future needs. New projects must have a generating capacity greater or equal to 40 megawatts (MW).

THE PROJECT
Invenergy develops, builds, owns, and operates renewable energy projects, including utility-scale wind energy centres. With electricity demands across BC anticipated to grow significantly over the next several years, Invenergy is preparing the project for submission into BC Hydro’s Call for Power in January 2026. The project being proposed is a wind energy facility with the potential to generate up to 250 MW of electricity. It will include approximately 45 turbines, a project substation, and a new transmission line connecting it to the Tumbler Ridge substation.

The project is being developed in partnership with Saulteau First Nations.

The project location was picked due to the strong and reliable wind resource in the Peace River Region and the site’s constructability. It is located 21 kilometers northeast of the District of Tumbler Ridge. If the project is selected during the competitive BC Hydro Call for Power process, the facility is estimated to be operational between 2030 and 2032.

Additional project information can be accessed through the website https://hourglasswind.invenergy.com/.
