ROR Power Registers Projects for BC Hydro Bioenergy Call
VANCOUVER, July 16, 2010 /CNW/ - Run of River Power Inc. (TSX-V: ROR) ("ROR Power" or "the Company") today announced it has registered its Suskwa and Tsilhqot'in projects for inclusion in BC Hydro's Bioenergy Phase 2 call.
Through its subsidiaries, ROR Power is advancing the development of the Tsilhqot'in plant in Hanceville, BC, and the Suskwa plant near New Hazelton, BC. Each project will have generator nameplate capacity of 34 MW.
