Hydro Companies

The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation owns Canoe Creek Hydro, Haa-ak-suuk Creek Hydro, and Winchie Creek Hydro, operated by Barkley Project Group.
The Nation is located in a territory with a natural abundance of rainfall and mountainous terrain, which has enabled the development of small hydropower facilities. This corresponds with the Nation’s vision of a sustainable economy using clean and renewable energy, while providing jobs for the community.
The hydro companies yield revenue through:
  • Sale of generated energy through long-term contract with BC Hydro
