Project Location
We are actively investigating the feasibility of utility-scale wind energy development within the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, approximately 15 kilometres north of Cache Creek, B.C.
Project Development
With decades of collective experience, we have a team of internal experts responsible for taking projects from conception to commercial operations. Our team works in close consultation with Indigenous communities, local landowners, government agencies, and other local stakeholders to site, build, and operate our facilities safely and responsibly.

Project development began in 2025 and has focused on desktop environmental studies including biophysical and wetland evaluations, and cultural, heritage and archeological reviews. We are also actively investigating wind development feasibility in the area. This includes evaluating the wind resource and determining potential locations for infrastructure.
The Project was submitted into the BC Hydro 2025 Call for Power. We anticipate BC Hydro will announce projects who were awarded an Electricity Purchase Agreement in early Spring of 2026.
The Project is in the early stages of development, and we are continuously looking to solicit feedback. The Cache Wind Project team is working closely with Indigenous governments, various B.C. Ministries, local governments, and the community-at-large to understand decision-making requirements, collaborate on up-coming proposed development work, and incorporate knowledge into the Project’s design.
We are committed to ongoing engagement throughout the decision-making process for the project. We believe that trust is the foundation for long-term successful relationships, and we know that trust is only earned over time by working together with honest and transparent communications.

BC Hydro 2025 Call for Power
In July 2025, BC Hydro released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for clean or renewable resource projects that are cost effective, have a meaningful First Nations partnership, and can come be operational before the end of 2033. If selected by BC Hydro under this RFP, all energy generated by the Project would be sold to BC Hydro under an Electricity Purchase Agreement power purchase agreement for a fixed term of 30 years.
The RFP is structured to help ensure B.C. has sufficient clean or renewable energy to meet future needs. It aligns with B.C.’s 2021 Integrated Resource Plan, which indicates the need to acquire approximately 5,000 GWh/year of additional energy by no later than October 2033.
The results of the RFP are expected to be announced by early Spring 2026. If awarded an Electricity Purchase Agreement by BC Hydro, The Cache Wind Project is expected to be built before by October 2033. If the project is not awarded an Electricity Purchase Agreement a power purchase agreement in 2026, we will continue to progress development in anticipation of a future BC Hydro power procurement announcement.
Expected Timeline
The timeline and target date for the start of operations date will be determined by future BC Hydro interconnection studies.
Open House & Engagement Summary
Public Open House #1
In October 2025, we hosted open houses at both the Cache Creek Community Hall and the Clinton Memorial Hall for the Cache Wind Project. These open houses provided an opportunity for the community to learn more about the project, share feedback, and meet our project team.
If you missed this event, you can find the materials shared under the ‘Additional Resources’ section below.
Project Infrastructure
The proposed Project infrastructure would be comprised of wind turbines, electrical collection lines, upgrades to existing site access roads and additional site access roads as needed, an electrical substation, and a transmission line of approximately 25 kilometres to interconnect the Project into the BC Hydro electrical grid.
