Description
The Hydrogen Assisted Renewable Power (HARP) project in Bella Coola, British Columbia is a state-of-the-art energy storage project securely powers the remote community of Bella Coola with less environmental impact. The HARP system is expected to reduce Bella Coola’s annual diesel consumption by 200,000 litres — lowering greenhouse gas emissions by 600 tons annually. The project is a partnership between BC Hydro, GE and Powertech and is supported by the province of B.C. and Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC).
