Justice Kevin Loo said Greengen Holdings Ltd lost an opportunity to achieve a completed and profitable hydro-electric project.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ordered the provincial government to pay $10.125 million after it denied permits to a company that wanted to build a run-of-the river power project near Squamish.
After a lengthy process involving extensive communications between Greengen and various provincial and other ministries and regulatory agencies, the permits were denied, according to Loo. Both decisions cited impacts on Squamish Nation cultural sites that could not be mitigated. On July 26, 2006, BC Hydro awarded Greengen an energy purchase agreement under which Greengen would be entitled to supply electricity at a fixed price for 40 years.
The project called for most of that infrastructure to be built on Crown land, according to the ruling. Another meeting was held with Campbell and Dave Ingleson of the Integrated Land Management Bureau , part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. “This was a voluminous document which included, among other things, information regarding the expected environmental impact of the project, hydrology, and an archaeological assessment, Loo said.
