Fire Creek Dam

Fire Creek Dam is part of a run-of-river hydroelectric facility located near Harrison Lake in southwestern British Columbia.

The project, known as the Fire Creek (Kwalsa Energy) generating station, has an installed capacity of approximately 23–25 MW and produces an estimated 94,200 MWh of electricity annually, supplying power to BC Hydro under a long-term agreement.

Construction began in May 2007, and the facility was commissioned in 2009.

It is one of six run-of-river projects collectively known as the Harrison Operating Facilities, which also include Douglas Creek, Lamont Creek, Stokke Creek, Tipella Creek, and Upper Stave River.

Together these facilities provide a combined installed capacity of 150 MW. Innergex Renewable Energy holds a 50 percent stake in the project in partnership with CC&L Harrison Hydro Project Limited Partnership and LPF (Surfside) Development L. P.
