Bear Lake, British Columbia
Biomass power for
northern B.C.
The Kerry Lake Biomass Project is a proposed biomass power development at the Kerry Lake site near Bear Lake, north of Prince George, British Columbia.
Grandview Energy developed the proposal and submitted it to BC Hydro’s 2024 Call for Power, a competitive procurement for new clean and renewable electricity supply in British Columbia.

Why Biomass in Northern B.C.
Northern British Columbia has a large forestry sector. Biomass power plants in the province turn local forestry by-products, such as sawmill residue, logging slash and roadside debris, into electricity.
- Steady output. Unlike wind and solar, biomass can generate on demand, supporting the grid through cold, dark winter months.
- Uses local residue. Wood waste that would otherwise be burned in slash piles or left to decay becomes a fuel source.
- Regional jobs. Fuel supply, construction and plant operation create work in northern communities.
Part of Our North American Platform
The Kerry Lake proposal extends Grandview’s development work beyond its Australian solar, storage and microgrid projects into Canada, alongside the company’s Vancouver and Halifax presence.
