WindRiver Power Corporation and the Nisga’a Nation Enter Into Benefits Agreement Regarding the Kinskuch Hydroelectric Project

October 1, 2015, Gitlaxt’aamiks, BC - The Nisga’a Lisims Government, on behalf of the Nisga’a Nation, and WindRiver Power Corporation are pleased to announce that they have entered into a comprehensive Benefits Agreement with respect to WindRiver’s planned 50 megawatt hydroelectric project at Kinskuch Lake, British Columbia.

“The signing of the Benefits Agreement with the Nisga’a Nation is a critical step”, commented Kipp Horton, President & CEO of WindRiver.  “The agreement’s term is for the commercial life of the project and so provides a solid and lasting foundation. We have appreciated working with the Nisga’a Nation to achieve this milestone.  Looking forward, we will continue to work closely with the Nisga’a Nation with the shared objective of completing the Kinskuch project, a project which we anticipate will be an important building block in an expanded power grid in northwest B.C.”

“From our perspective,” commented Mitchell Stevens, President of the Nisga’a Lisims Government, “WindRiver’s efforts are deserving of our full support and co-operation, not only on the basis of WindRiver’s open and straightforward consultation over the last several years but also on the basis of the merits of the Kinskuch project itself and on the role it will play in supplying firm, reliable and clean electricity to the region. This project is consistent with our vision of sustainable prosperity and self-reliance.
