Hystad Creek

In June 2002, the Hystad Creek small hydro project was connected to the provincial electricity grid. Hystad Creek is a 6 MW project, located about 5 km west of Valemount, B.C. The project is run-of-river, which means that there is no dam. A low weir acts as a diversion structure, but will not result in flooding. Owned by IPP East Twin Creek Hydro Ltd., the Hystad Creek facility will generate approximately 20 GWh of electricity per year.
