Event Description:
For the month of November 2013, we'll welcome guest speaker Chris Vick, project manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region.
Chris will present information on plans to construct a new hydrogenation unit at the Black Canyon Diversion Dam.
Reclamation is proceeding with its design for a new third hydroelectric generating unit at the dam. The proposed unit will expand the capacity of the two existing units to generate enough electricity to power 9,359 homes a year. The power will be integrated into the power grid to serve 10 irrigation districts in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, as well as the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
The additional generating unit will take advantage of water that is currently being bypassed and turn it into pollution-free hydroelectric power. It will also provide operational flexibility when one of the existing units is shut down for maintenance.
The project's key features include:
You're invited! Please RSVP - (208) 365-3485
The Gem County Chamber of Commerce has a monthly Networking Luncheon (Mid-Day Mingles). They are held at various restaurants in the Gem County area, and sometimes catered by restaurants at the Chamber Office. Locations vary, so please visit our website for the updated information.
This gives businesses the opportunity to come and introduce their business and meet new people. Guest speakers are welcome!

The project's key features include:
- A 12.5 MW hydro-generating unit, including new penstock and intake structure;
- Replacement and relocation of the current switchyard;
- Replacement of the current administration building; and
- Control upgrades for the existing two units.
