Ledcor developed and constructed the Ashlu Creek Run-of-River Hydroelectric Project that commenced commercial operations in early December 2009.

This 50-megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric project reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 21,000 cars from the road each year, while producing 265-gigawatt hours of electricity annually—enough to power 24,000 homes each year. A portion of the water is diverted from Ashlu Creek into an underground tunnel, which transports water to the powerhouse containing three electricity-generating turbines. Water is then returned to the channel in its clean, natural state.

Ledcor partnered with the Squamish First Nation to develop the project and assisted with the creation of a Squamish Nation member-owned and operated security company to provide services during the three-year construction period. Independent contractors from the Band were also hired by Ledcor for forestry and construction-related services.
