The hydro facility is to be located in Pemberton, British Columbia.

The plant, which is estimated to cost $275 million, will include four 18.5-MW, horizontal Francis turbines; high-pressure steel penstocks; transmission lines; and an interconnection substation. Construction is scheduled to begin in April or May, with completion expected in 2017.
