Kwoiek Creek Resources, a partnership between the Kanaka Bar Indian Band and Innergex Renewable Energy, has commenced operations of the Kwoiek Creek hydroelectric project located in British Columbia, Canada.

The Kwoiek Creek hydroelectric project is a 49.9MW, run-of-river project located on the lower reaches of Kwoiek Creek, a tributary to the Fraser River, approximately 14km south of Lytton, British Columbia.

Construction of the 49.9MW project was commenced in June 2011 and completed in December 2013.

While commissioning of the facility began in December 2013, the company and BC Hydro have modified their agreement, which they signed in August 2006, to fix the stipulated production levels, which needed to be approved by the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC).

"The Kwoiek Creek hydroelectric project is expected to have an average generation capacity of 223,400MWh a year."

After receiving the approval from BCUC, BC Hydro received the commissioning operation date certificate with an effective commissioning date of 1 January 2014 for the Kwoiek Creek project.
