The McNair Creek Hydroelectric Project is a 9.8 megawatt capacity facility located in the lower Sunshine Coast region of British Columbia near the town of Gibson’s in Port Mellon. On average, it provides power for 4000 homes. During times of peak water flow it can provide energy for up to 10,000. We designed and manufactured the electrical power and control system for this hydro plant as well as completed on site testing and commissioning.
