ONSTRUCTION OF ONTARIO
Power Generation’s (OPG)
$2.6B Lower Mattagami Project
– billed as the largest northern hydroe-
lectric generating construction project
in 40 years by OPG – is now underway.
The project, being developed in part-
nership with is the Moose Cree First
Nation (25%) will increase Ontario’s
supply of clean, renewable power by
about 440MW and create hundreds of
jobs in the region.
The development on the Mattagami
River will expand the capacity of four
existing stations from 486MW to 924
MW of dispatchable, peaking power.
The project has four parts:
rebuilding Smoky Falls Generating
Station and adding new generating
units at Harmon, Kipling, and Little
Long generating stations. Making
use of existing sites creates valu-
able renewable energy with minimal
environmental disruption.
“Ontario has established itself
as leader in clean energy expertise,
manufacturing, and development,”
said Brad Duguid, Minister of Energy
and Infrastructure. “The Lower
Mattagami project is indicative of
that leadership and symbolic of what
the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario
seeks to achieve: positioning the
north for a leadership role in devel-
oping a sustainable provincial energy
supply and creating economic oppor-
tunities for Aboriginal peoples.”
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs
Chris Bentley, noted “It is partner-
ships like these that support sus-
tainable Aboriginal communities
and strengthen regional economies.
It’s good news for Moose Cree First
Nation, for Kapuskasing, and for
Ontario as a whole.”
Following a competitive global
search for a qualified contractor,
Ontario Power Generation has award-
ed the $1.7B contract to design and
construct these facilities to a joint
venture of Peter Kiewit Sons Co
and Aecon Group Inc’s infrastruc-
ture Division. Aecon will own a 20%
stake in the JV
“This is an important project and
we are committed to working safely,
and completing the work on time,
and on budget, said Teri McKibbon,
CEO of Aecon Infrastructure. “We are
very pleased to be partnered with
Kiewit, a company acknowledged as
a world class leader in hydro devel-
opment projects”.
Ontario Power Generation’s $2.6B
project budget includes the design
build contract as well as contingencies,
interest and other OPG costs including
project management, contract man-
agement, impact agreements with
First Nations, and transmission con-
nection costs. OPG and the Ontario
Power Authority are working to nalize
and execute a Hydroelectric Energy
Supply Agreement for the project.
OPG is in the process of arranging
project nancing.
Completion of this project is
expected in 2015. Approximately
600 people will work on the scheme
annually, with a peak of over 800,
during the ve years of construction.
In total, the project will create over
4000 person years of direct, and indi-
rect employment.
Construction starts on Lower
Mattagami project, Ontario
Wave Hub on course for summer deployment
T
HE WAVE HUB MARINE ENERGY
project is on course to be
deployed this summer with fabri-
cation of sub-sea cables and the hub
itself nearing completion.
Wave Hub will create the world’s
largest test site for wave energy tech-
nology by building a grid-connected
socket on the seabed, 10 miles off
the coast of Cornwall, to which wave
power devices can be connected and
their performance evaluated.
The £42M project has been devel-
oped by the South West Regional
Development Agency (SWRDA) and
is a cornerstone of its strategy to
develop a world-class marine energy
industry in South West England.
Hartlepool-based JDR Cable
Sy s t e m s is constru c t i n g th e
armoured 25km subsea cable
that will connect Wave Hub to the
National Grid, and the hub struc-
ture that will sit on the seabed.
Construction is well advanced on the
cable manufacture, and, once com-
plete, the 1,300 tonne cable will be
spooled directly onto a cable laying
vessel from JDR’s deepwater quay-
side facility at Hartlepool Dock.
The company is also making four
300m ‘tails’ that will connect wave
energy devices on or just below the
surface of the sea back to Wave Hub.
Work is also well underway on the
hub assembly. This is a rigid steel
structure that will sit on the seabed
in 50m of water and be covered in
several metres of rock. It will pro-
vide a connection between the main
cable from the shore and the tails
leading to the wave energy devices,
and will weigh around 12 tonnes
when completed. A connection
block inside will be lled with resin
to ensure it remains watertight and
the whole structure is designed to
last at least 25 years.
“After seven years of planning it’s
hugely satisfying to see the cable
and hub actually taking shape,” said
Guy Lavender, Wave Hub’s general
manager at the SWRDA. “We’re on
course for deployment this summer
and extensive testing will take place
before we welcome our first wave
energy devices at Wave Hub, which
we expect in 2011.
Meanwhile onshore work for Wave
Hub continues with the construction
of an electricity substation at Hayle
on the north Cornwall coast.
The six-month project includes
the installation of more than £1M
of electrical equipment, including a
monitoring system for wave energy
developers to measure how much
power their devices produce.
SaskPower and First Nation agree hydro studies
C
ANADIAN UTILITY SASKPOWER
and the Black Lake First Nation
are taking the first step in
developing a hydro power project in
northern Saskatchewan by signing
an agreement to carry out feasibility
studies on a 50MW run of the river
scheme at Elizabeth Falls near Fond
du Lac.
The agreement will allow for envi-
ronmental and engineering studies
to begin in this month. SaskPower
signed the agreement with the
Elizabeth Falls Hydro Development
Corporation, which was established
by the Black Lake First Nation to over-
see the project.
“We are really pleased with the
progress we are starting to make on
this important project,” said Black
Lake Chief Donald Sayazie. “Should
it proceed, this hydro project will bring
many benets to the people of the
Black Lake First Nation and commu-
nities in the region. We look forward
to working with SaskPower to take the
necessary steps in what we hope will
ultimately result in clean, environmen-
tally friendly power being generated in
the north.”
Should the project prove to be an
economical supply option, the two
parties would negotiate a contract
for SaskPower to buy the electricity
provided by the project, which would
fulll a growing need for electricity in
northern Saskatchewan.
Pursuing emission free hydro-
electric generation was one of the
medium and long-term supply options
SaskPower identied when it shared
its future generation plans with the
Legislative Assembly’s Standing
Committee on Crown and Central
Agencies in late 2009 and early
2010. The Committee endorsed this
approach in its nal report, which was
issued in April 2010.
If given the go-ahead, the hydro
project would redirect a portion of the
ow in the Fond du Lac River, at the
east end of Lake Athabasca.

Australia boosts
renewables funding
T
HE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT
has announced a new A$652M
fund for renewable energy
development in an effort to capi-
talise on the country’s renewable
resources.
The funds, committed over four
years to establish a Renewable
Energy Future Fund, will support the
deployment of large and small-scale
projects as well as the take-up of
energy efciency across the consum-
er spectrum.
The gov e r nme n t ha s al s o
announced decisions to invest a
further A$110M from existing renew-
able energy programmes in a range of
solar projects.
The financial commitments will
support the country’s response to cli-
mate change, says the government,
and have been announced just weeks
after the Rudd government deferred its
proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction
Scheme (CPRS) legislation after it
was defeated in the Senate.
The Renewable Energy Future Fund
will include partnerships between the
government and the private sector to
make critical early stage investments
to support the commercialization of
renewable technologies. It will bring
the government’s total investments
in clean energy and energy efciency
to over A$10B.
Details of the specific commit-
ments of the fund will be released
shortly, says that government.
T
HE WORLD BA NK HA S
approved a US$330M loan for
the Kenya Electricity Expansion
Project that will provide electricity
access to Kenyans in urban, peri-
urban and rural areas, and also
deepen investment in green energy
in the country.
The project is part of over US$1.4B
being invested in the electricity sector
by the government, the Bank and
other development partners in sup-
port of the government’s strategy to
accelerate infrastructure development
to strengthen foundations for growth
and competitiveness.
It will build on the Energy Sector
Recovery Project, which the Bank
has supported since 2004 with an
investment of US$160 million to
increase geothermal generation,
improve electricity distribution and
implement electrication programs to
support economic growth and reduce
regional disparities. It also continues
the Bank’s support for geothermal
energy development that started in
the 1980s.
“The project supports the climate
change and infrastructure develop-
ment pillars of the government’s
Vision 2030 long term develop-
ment strategy,” says Patrick Nyoike,
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of
Energy. “It will strengthen the energy
investment programs which have been
enabled by the comprehensive policy
and regulatory reforms that Kenya has
implemented with the Bank’s support
since 1981.”
The gap between electricity supply
and demand has increased in recent
years due to Kenya’s strong econom-
ic growth and inadequate investment
in power infrastructure. The supply
decit and costly short-term interven-
tions constrain economic growth and
reduce the regional competitiveness
of Kenya’s private sector.
Lack of reliable energy lowers the
annual sale revenues of Kenyan rms
by about seven percent and reduces
Kenya’s growth rate by about 1.5
percent, according to the 2008 Africa
Infrastructure Country Diagnostic.
“The challenge for Kenya is to
invest in reliable energy sources to
support the anticipated economic
recovery in the next few years,” says
Paivi Koljonen, the Task Team Leader
for the Project.
The other partners in the energy
project include the European
Investment Bank (EIB), Germany’s
KfW, Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) and Agence Française
de Développement (AFD). The gov-
ernment, Kenya Power and Lighting
Company (KPLC), and Ke nya
Electricity Generating Company
(KenGen) will also contribute to the
nancing of the project.
The credit has been approved
under standard IDA terms, which
include a 10-year grace period and a
40-year maturity.
World Bank approves
loan for Kenya project
From the Editor
Dear readers,
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
called for the US Department of Energy to prepare a
report for congress on issues relating to marine and
hydrokinetic energy. One of the underlying motivations
behind this was that, although there are numerous plans
to develop the energy conversion technology, few have
been deployed and tested in rivers and oceans in the US
and abroad. As the Report to Congress on the Potential
Environmental Effects of Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy
Technologies stated in December 2009, even fewer envi-
ronmental studies of such devices have been carried out.
To address this, the above report was commissioned
to investigate: potential environmental impacts of marine
and hydrokinetic energies; options to prevent adverse
environmental impacts; potential role of monitoring and
adaptive management; and the necessary components of
an adaptive management programme.
As the report acknowledges there is no conclusive evi-
dence that hydrokinetic and marine projects will actually
cause significant environmental impacts. However, there
is a need to highlight areas where further information and
research is needed.
The report was based on a review of scientific literature
and US and international assessments of the technolo-
gies. The assessments identified common elements
among the technologies that may pose a risk of adverse
environmental effects. These include: alteration of cur-
rents and waves; alteration of substrates and sediment
transport and deposition; noise during construction and
operation; emission of electromagnetic fields; toxicity of
paints, lubricants and antifouling coatings; interference
with animal movements and migrations; and strike by
rotor blades or other moving parts.
Environmentally sound development of the technol-
ogy would benefit from the dissemination of information
from monitoring existing installations, the report stated.
It would also be valuable to publicise research to under-
stand the nature and severity of impacts associated with
particular factors common to many of the technologies.
Adaptive management was also highlighted as playing
a valuable role in the early stages of development within
this field. Described as being a systematic process, adap-
tive management can be used to evaluate environmental
impacts of installation and operation, against quantified
environmental performance goals during project monitor-
ing. Furthermore, as projects expand from small demon-
stration scales to commercial developments, the use of
an adaptive management framework could be an effec-
tive means of resolving particular issues and addressing
cumulative effects. Indeed this will help to refine technol-
ogy designs and improve the environmental acceptability
of future installations. FERC and other agencies promote
adaptive management as a tool to resolve uncertainties
about environmental effects in licensing procedures. This
can only help to ensure sound and orderly development of
the new technology.
Best wishes

Hydro hat-trick for Norwegian energy firm
N
ORWEGIAN ALUMINIUM AND
renewable energy company
Norsk Hydro has announced
it is planning the rst groundbreak-
ing for the Holsbru hydro project this
fall, and has also delivered a conces-
sion application for two hydro power
projects in Sogn. Together, the three
projects will increase the company’s
power production by about 300GWh.
The plan for Holsbru is to build
new feeder tunnels to direct water
from Holsbru Lake and Rausdøla to
the old power station at Tyin. This
power plant has been out of service
since 2004, when Hydro started up
its new power station at Tyin.
Holsbru Lake and Rausdøla are
lower than the water intake for the
new Tyin power station, and the water
from Holsbru Lake and Rausdøla is
therefore not in use today.
By resuming production at two of
the generators in the old Tyin power
station, Hydro will increase produc-
tion by 84GWh, with the total power
production from Tyin exceeding
1600GWh.
The Holsbru project got the green
light from the Norwegian authorities
in the fall of 2008, but Norsk Hydro
put the project on hold when demand
for aluminium fell dramatically during
the financial crisis. The company
expect to invest NOK 200-250M in
the project.
In addition to Holsbru, the com-
pany has applied for a concession
to build a power plant at Øyane and
a pump power plant at Ilvatn, both
in the Fortun Valley in Sogn. The two
plants will deliver 98 and 113GWh,
respectively.
If all goes according to plan, Hydro
will start work at Ilvatn in 2012.
Production from the new plant could
then in summer 2015.
The construction works on the
Øyane power station are expected
to start in summer 2012 and will be
nalized in summer 2014.
Small hydro for the Solomon Islands
A
FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL BE car-
ried out for a hydro project on
the Tina River in the Solomon
Islands, following the signing of an
agreement between the government
and landowners in Tina Village.
Plans for the new hydro plant were
announced by the Solomon Islands
government back in July last year.
The project – to be located near the
capital, Honiara, on the island of
Guadalcanal – is part of the govern-
ment’s plan to promote alternative
energy sources to replace expensive
fuel imports.
The project, which is being carried
out with the support of the World
Bank, IFC, AusAID, RAMSI, NZAid, and
the European Investment Bank (EIB),
is currently in its early stages.
The feasibility study is a critical
rst step of the program and will pro-
vide vital information on the technical
and economic feasibility of the hydro
power project.
The European Investment Bank is
funding the feasibility study, yet the
project itself is being managed and
coordinated by the Solomon Islands
government through the Tina River
Task Force, which is a part of the
Ministry of Mines, Energy, and Rural
Electrication. Additionally, a TRHDP
Project Ofce has been established
with support from Australia.
“The Solomon Islands government
recognizes the need for the provision
of cheaper, more reliable, and renew-
able energy,” said Prime Minister,
Dr. Derek Sikua. “As such, we have
been working towards promoting the
development of a hydropower project
on Tina River and we thank Australia,
the EIB, World Bank and IFC for their
support and assistance in helping us
realizes this goal.”
The project will follow the require-
ments of Solomon Islands laws,
World Bank Group safeguards, and
European Investment Bank (EIB)
requirements to ensure the project
has a minimal environmental impact.
Following the feasibility study ten-
ders will be put out for the selection
by government of an independent
power producer for the construction
of the project.
