After more than 70 years of operation, the upgrade project will enhance the reliability of the plant and increase the installed generator capacity by 15%, contributing to British Columbia’s renewable energy goals.

The Bridge River 1 plant is located in the core St’át’imc territory, adjacent to the Tsal’alh community on Seton Lake. The upgrade project is expected to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and ensure a reliable supply of clean energy for British Columbia residents. ANDRITZ looks forward to working with the local First Nations communities in the execution of the project, continuing its tradition of strong relationships with Indigenous peoples in renewable energy projects.
