In particular, the group wanted the ministers to realize that the power line proposed to be built as part of the independent power project (IPP) has a carrying capacity of 230kV, which far exceeds the 113MW needed by the three facilities associated with the project. One of the big concerns is that the power line has the ability to carry several times the amount of electricity that would be generated by the three power houses in the Upper Lillooet Hydropower Project, said conservationist Johnny Mikes. The concern is how will that extra capacity be filled and by which projects? With a power line larger than required for (the project s) purposes, we are concerned about the spin off cumulative effects it would have on grizzly bears.
