In 2004 development of a 235 MW run of river energy project began on East Toba River. The $660 million project is funded and operated through a private loan from a partnership of lenders led by Manulife Financial Canada. Plutonic Power Corporation and GE Energy also referred to as the Toba Montrose General Partnership are the main stakeholders in the project . Construction is overseen by the Kiewit Corporation in partnership with the Sliammon and K'ómoks First Nation Territory Agreement.[3] On 7 March 2011, it was announced that Magma Energy and Plutonic Power will merge to create Alterra Power Corp.[4] The Toba Montrose Project was in operation in August 2010.[5]
