The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) has extended CAD80 million (US$63.77 million) support to the Tlingit Homeland Energy Limited Partnership for the development of the Atlin Hydroelectricity Expansion project in British Columbia.
The expansion project covers the 9.2 MW hydroelectric facility as well as a 93 km transmission line that would connect the project to the isolated Yukon microgrid.
The entire expansion of the hydropower plant is estimated to cost about CAD206 million (US$164.22 million). The transmission line that is part of the project will run through Atlin, British Columbia, and Jakes Corner, Yukon.
