Arthurville Technical - Economic Report

Description de projet

A Private Corporation mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to develop a Technical-Economic Report regarding the potential purchase of the Arthurville Hydropower Station. The potential owner was interested in confirming the generation capacity of the existing turbines as well as probable OPEX and CAPEX investments that would be required in the short term. A site investigation was therefore carried out as well as a 3D scan, in order to assess the costs that the potential Buyer would need to allow for.

ECS assessed and reviewed all the factors required to developed the station’s generation capacity through an Energy Model, the Financial Model, the Scheduling and Permitting requirements as well as the proposed cost of the sold power.

ECS provided the technical report and counseled the client on the best course of action moving forward.
