Project Background. The Moresby Lake Hydro Project (Project) is a storage hydro project serving one of the Non-Integrated Areas located in Haida Gwaii off the north coast of British Columbia. The Project serves the southern grid1 of Haida Gwaii, which includes the communities of Skidegate, Queen Charlotte City, Tlell and Sandspit (Sandspit Non-Integrated Area). The Project has a plant capacity of 6 MW and is backed up by BC Hydro generating station in Sandspit, B.C. A 49 km, 69 kV transmission line interconnects the facility to the point of interconnection at BC Hydro Sandspit substation. The Sandspit Non-Integrated Area has peak loads of approximately 6.4 MW and the annual average load of the communities served is approximately 27 GWh/yr. The 1 Haida Gwaii also has a northern grid, the Masset Non-Integrated Area, which includes the communities of Old Masset, Masset, and Port ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The northern grid and southern grid are not connected and have separate generation-distribution systems.
