Sound Energy Inc is a private company incorporated on Sept 26th 2002. The current officers and directors are Jack A Carthy (President and Director), John Termuende (Vice President and Director) and Harmen J. Keyser (Director). The company was formed to develop environmentally friendly run of river hydro electric projects.

The company is developing a 15 MW power plant with joint ownership partner Box Canyon Hydro Corp. The power project will involve taping water from Box Canyon, Mardi and Cascara Creeks. All three creeks are tributaries of McNab Creek located on the Sunshine Coast peninsula, on the North West side of Howe Sound between Port Mellon and Woodfibre.

The sites chosen are deemed very desirable from a development standpoint. Over 500 meters of hydraulic head, limited environmental concerns and a near by 138KV British Columbia Transmission Corporation power line that has already been approved for an interconnection. Transportation is relatively easy with tide water access and a good logging road infrastructure.

The company has been actively measuring and monitoring the water resources in this area since 2002. Knight Piesold Consulting Engineers were engaged to evaluate the hydrology and develop feasibility studies for the sites under consideration.

The Company is a successful bidder in the Clean Power Call Request For Proposals (RFP) on June 11, 2008 and has recently signed a 40 year energy purchase agreement with BC Hydro

Recent developments at the political level both federally and provincially would seem to indicate that the demand for green energy is growing and all levels of Government will continue to encourage the development of this type of resource.
