Description
The station consists of six 160 MW units; it serves to meet short term peak demands. Three units are held in standby, available on eight hours notice. The three active units are used for voltage regulation. A plant upgrade project was completed in 2003. In 2001 it represented over 9% of BC Hydro's gross metered generation.
BC Hydro intends to shut down the station in 2016, once additional capacity is built at the Mica Generating Station.
