Vancouver, BC -
Syntaris Power Corporation is pleased to announce that it has submitted
three hydroelectric projects into the BC Hydro 2008 Clean Call for Power.
The projects represent a total estimated capacity of approximately 104
Megawatts of electricity.

"Our top notch professional team worked hard on developing these
submissions and we are confident that the quality of these projects will
make them extremely attractive to BC Hydro," says Syntaris Power President
and CEO Robert Fraser. "We are also pleased with the support we have
received from our First Nations partners and look forward to working
together on building and commissioning these projects in the near future."
The projects submitted to the BC Hydro Call for Clean Power are:
• Kinskuch River Project, located 27 km east of Stewart, BC which is
estimated to generate 76 MW of power
• Maselpanik Creek Project, located 51 km east of Chilliwack and 35 km
south of Hope, BC which is estimated to generate 13 MW of power in the
Fraser Valley.
• Culliton Creek Project, located near Squamish, which is estimated to
generate 15 MW of power
These three projects combined have the potential to displace over 210,000
tonnes of CO2 annually*, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted
by over 42,000 cars per year. Development of these three hydroelectric
projects will help the province reach its goal of achieving energy
self-sufficiency by 2016. The BC Energy Plan requires that 90 per cent of
all new electrical generation will come from clean or renewable resources.
* Based on the calculation that for every Mega-watt-hour of green power
produced, 0.52Tonnes of CO2 is offset from thermal power plants
