Compliance Energy is proposing to build a 56
MW power plant at the former Similco Copper Mine Site located
near Princeton British Columbia that would qualify as BC Clean
Energy. The power plant will be fueled by a combination
of wood waste and Pine Beetle Kill Wood (“Bug Wood”)
from the forestry industry. Wood will be hauled to site
and chipped up into minus 100 mm in size. The wood will
then be transferred into the combustion chamber where it is burnt
producing heat to boil the water in the boiler. This heat in
turn causes the turbine shaft to rotate at high speeds which
then turns the generator that produces electricity. After passing
through the turbines the water is cooled and the whole process
is then ready to start over again.
