Recipient: Stellat'en First Nation
Amount: 4000
Date: 2011-07-28
Areas: Fort Fraser - Fraser Lake
Sectors: Community Infrastructure
Strategy: Planning and Research
Description: Stellat'en First Nation will undertake a pre-conceptual feasibility study involving a web-based or desk top research on potential sites for run-of-the river hydroelectricity in the traditional territory and prepare a basic cost that will depict the project size and unique attributes of the local transmission system, but excluding interconnection cost for the hydro-electricity project. The web-based study will assess the five locations identified within this project and suggest one site with the greatest potential of constructing a run-of the-river hydro project.
