Skeena Resources Secures Access to Green Energy for Eskay Creek

Skeena Resources Limited has signed an interconnection agreement with Coast Mountain Hydro, enabling its Eskay Creek Gold-Silver Project to access the CMH transmission line. This development allows Skeena to avoid constructing its own transmission line, reducing capital expenses significantly. The agreement facilitates electricity purchase from BC Hydro at competitive rates, expected to lower project operating costs and emissions.

Skeena will connect to the CMH line, linked to BC Hydro, via a substation and metering devices. The agreement, renewing annually, supports Eskay Creek's power needs. Initial connections to the CMH line have been completed, with ongoing infrastructure work foreseen until 2026. This move is strategic in de-risking Eskay Creek while providing a sustainable energy solution.
