Renewable Energy Artwork Peace Energy is currently creating a new section to the website for 'renewable energy artwork.' Sculptures, photography, paintings...as long as it is renewable energy we'd love to see it and add it to our website. For now I'm uploading the art here and will move it to its new home when the artwork section is complete. Please email the office if you have something you would like to submit. The first works are below; one is a beautiful painting from a local Dawson Creek artist of the turbines at the Bear Mountain Wind Park; I'm sure we'll be seeing renditions of BMW in various media types!
Kurt Hansen moved to Dawson Creek in 1977 and began painting in 1992. He says he decided to paint the wind turbines when he heard we were going to be installing them in the area, and he wanted an oil painting of the windpark for his home. Kurt was amazed at the profile of the turbines. He had also seen turbines in Alberta and Ontario and believes wind energy is 'the way to go'. He's sure he will be painting more of them from different views.
These wind turbine sculptures were designed and built by a 2008-2009 science class at South Peace Secondary School. I was invited by the teacher, who is a Peace Energy Member, to come a take a look at what the class had been working on. The designs had a lot of work and thought put into them and I was impressed on what they had accomplished - working turbines!
The photos above were taken by member M. McGillveray. The one on the left is of the turbines on Bear Mountain. I told him it almost looks surreal viewing them through the mist! Then again it's still almost unbelievable that they are actually there. The picture on the right is a wind farm on Prince Edward Island from a recent trip he took to the east coast.

Media Release Peace Energy Investment Offering MEDIA RELEASE FOR RELEASE: Thursday, October 15, 2008
HEADLINE: Another Milestone for Peace Energy Cooperative DAWSON CREEK, BC - On the eve of its sixth anniversary, Peace Energy Cooperative has announced an offering of investment shares of Peace Energy for its members. This will be the first formal share offering for the renewable energy development cooperative, based in the Peace River Region of northwestern Canada.
“In 2008, we were able to give our members a first return on their investments up to 2007,” said Peace Energy’s executive director, Valerie Gilson. “This new investment offering gives our members additional opportunities to invest in the cooperative’s current and future project development.”
The brainchild of two local businessmen, Peace Energy quickly attracted membership and was able to become a major player in the development of untapped wind resources in the South Peace with Bear Mountain Wind Park near Dawson Creek.
“The Peace is a very windy place,” said Gilson. “We knew wind development would come to the region sooner or later so Peace Energy obtained the right to investigate the wind resource on Bear Mountain just southwest of town. Peace Energy wanted to keep the benefit of the local resources for the community and have a say in the way the development was done. We sought partners who would share our vision of lowest possible environmental impact and highest possible return for the community.”
Peace Energy has grown steadily over the last few years as public awareness of the importance of renewable energy has grown. The high profile of Bear Mountain Wind Park, British Columbia’s first utility scale wind energy development, has brought Peace Energy a lot of attention.
“Four hundred members by the end of 2009 was my goal and we are almost there with three hundred and eighty-six,” said Gilson. “Today is still the best day to join, although new members joining today will have to wait for the next investment opportunity. I can’t tell you when that will happen, but Peace Energy’s board is continuing to investigate new projects.”
Peace Energy Cooperative develops renewable energy using a for-profit model. There are a variety of options for future investment including participation in another of the many wind projects under investigative permit in the region, geo-exchange partnerships and small-scale renewable energy options. At the moment, Peace Energy has another project of a completely different kind in development.
Feasibility studies are under way into the possibility of creating a district heating facility using the reservoir in the City of Dawson Creek’s decommissioned Centennial Swimming Pool. It is hoped the building can also be redesigned to become a ‘renewable energy education centre and sustainable living facility’ with offices for Peace Energy and other companies and organizations contributing to creating a sustainable future for the Peace Region. To be called Centennial Green, an announcement on the progress of the project is expected by early 2010.
“We were the first renewable energy cooperative in Canada and we were able to bring the first wind development to the province,” said Gilson. “The continued interest and enthusiasm of our members’ shows we are strongly positioned for continued success!”
Note: This media release does not constitute an offer to sell securities of Peace Energy. Peace Energy's members should refer to Peace Energy's rights offering circular dated October 2, 2009, which has been mailed to members, for details of the offering referred to above, including risks relating to the purchase of investment shares.
Peace Energy Executive Director Valerie Gilson breathes a sigh of relief as the Cooperative’s first share offering is released to the membership after several years of planning and negotiations. Peace Energy uses member investments to finance for-profit renewable energy development in the Peace River Region of northeastern Canada.

MEDIA RELEASEFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 7, 2009 HEADLINE: BC’s First Wind Cooperative sets high standard for wind in BC
DAWSON CREEK, BC – There was pride among the members of BC’s first renewable energy coop yesterday (August 6) when the first wind-generated electricity in the province finally began to flow. “We’ve been working seven years for this,” said Steve Rison, president of Peace Energy Cooperative (PEC), a member-run, for-profit cooperative based in Dawson Creek. “We started the co-op to promote the development of renewable energy in the Peace region, to keep some of the benefits for our members and to be sure local values are respected. We are excited and proud to be a part of this important first for British Columbia, and I know our 378 members are thrilled.” The 102-megawatt Bear Mountain Wind Park, 15 kilometres southwest of Dawson Creek, was jump started by Peace Energy Coop in 2002. The first of the 34, 3-megawatt turbines went on line yesterday, making BC history. “It was the co-op’s vision from the beginning to retain the park-like values of Bear Mountain, and both Aeolis and AltaGas have been fantastic at working with the local community to be sure those values were retained,” explains co-op president Rison. “Bear Mountain Wind Park sets a very high standard for wind development in British Columbia.” Bear Mountain Wind Park is owned and operated by AltaGas of Calgary, AB but PEC got the ball rolling by acquiring the crown land lease and working with Aeolis Wind Power Corp, based in Victoria, BC, to develop the site. “Wind electrons are flowing into the BC Hydro grid for the first time!” said Juergen Puetter, president of Aeolis. “The BC Peace has an immense wind resource, and this is a big first step. We look forward to continuing to work with Peace Energy Cooperative and Peace communities to realize a clean renewable future for the province.” Bear Mountain Wind Park is an eight kilometre long ridge development with 34 turbines in a single line facing the strong prevailing south west winds common in the Peace region. Foundations and electrical connections were installed in 2008 when the concrete foundations were poured and set. In May of this year, blades and electronics began to arrive from Germany via the St Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. The 78 metre towers were manufactured in Saskatchewan. “This is making history,” said Mike Bernier, Mayor of Dawson Creek. “There’s tremendous excitement in town because green energy fits so perfectly with our efforts to make Dawson Creek a truly sustainable community. It’s fantastic that this region is the first in the province to actually produce wind energy.” The 378 member Peace Energy Cooperative was formed in 2002 to develop and invest in renewable energy for the benefit of its membership. The Bear Mountain site near Dawson Creek was the cooperative’s first major undertaking.
WINDS FOR CHANGE ENERGY SCULPTURE The Peace Energy 'Winds for Change Energy Sculpture' will provide an attractive and functional demonstration of small-scale wind power while providing emergency back-up power for the Fire Hall's 911 fire dispatch call centre. Located in a visible, park-like public space next to the Fire Hall and in front of City Hall, the sculpture and solar photovaltaic system will charge a battery-bank for emergency back-up at the Fire Hall, and will net-meter excess power into the grid to reduce the Fire Hall's ongoing electrical bill. Both beautiful and functional, the Winds for Change Energy Sculpture will be a clear and lasting sybol for Dawson Creek's path towards sustainability and energy independence. Commissioning is anticipated for late fall 2009. Peace Energy will be beginning fundraising for the project very soon. There is already a lot of interest from individual and corporate members.

'CENTENNIAL GREEN' November 6 Press Release
Press Release – Dawson Creek, BC November 6, 2008 Peace Energy Cooperative Project Concept for Dawson Creek Centennial Pool DAWSON CREEK: Peace Energy Cooperative (PEC) approached the City of Dawson Creek Council in September with an interest in reconstructing the Centennial Pool and developing what they are calling “Centennial Green”, a renewable energy and sustainable living centre. Council encouraged Peace Energy to bring further information and a concept design before council. Lukas Armstrong, a local graduate architect, has been retained by Peace Energy to develop that vision. “Centennial pool has the potential to become a sustainable building of the highest standard,” says Armstrong. “By stripping off the old envelope and re-building on the old core we can create an entirely new building with probably half the impact, not to mention reduced costs.” “PEC feels the old pool presents an innovative opportunity that they are very interested in pursuing. Executive Director, Valerie Gilson says, “Our provincial and civic governments recognize the need for our society to change direction, to find ways to grow within a sustainable model, and to reward creativity and initiative that improves lives and the environment. This can meet those needs and offer so much to the community!” An exciting opportunity that exists with the 600,000 litre pool is the possibility of creating a district thermal heating system. This system would entail using the waste heat from the Memorial Arena ice-making machines, combined with solar thermal panels on the roof of the pool building, and distribution of heat to local public buildings. PEC suggests developing the property into a facility with a focus on renewable energy and sustainable living. They see this facility first as a public gathering space, possibly with a small cafe, an indoor play-land, a potential host spot for events such as the farmer’s market, as well as accommodating organizations that are focused on making a difference in sustainability, and providing education workshops and meeting space. This is currently a concept; there is no commitment from the city to follow through on it at this time. PEC will be returning to visit the new mayor and council with this concept in the New Year. PEC stresses that this is a private development, in conjunction with other partners, and will not cause a tax burden to the residents of Dawson Creek; it will not be built with tax dollars. On the other hand it will save the city a large cost in demolition of the building (estimated to be $400,000). “We haven’t even scratched the surface for what this facility can offer. Look what we have achieved with Bear Mountain Wind Park,” says Gilson. “This is a new renewable energy opportunity waiting to be developed, and we are strongly positioned for success!”
Celebrating their 5th anniversary in October PEC announced that it had surpassed two important milestones in 2008; member 300, and its first investment return to members. Centennial Green represents their newest large project in renewable energy.

October 2008 Annual General Meeting - Peace Energy Passes Milestones! Board of Directors pose following Annual General Meeting; from left,Steve Rison, Cheryl Shuman, newly elected Director Jim Farrow, Catherine Gilbertson, Rupert Kirk, Executive Director Valerie Gilson, and Don Pettit. Absent from photo is Director Chris Garwah. President Steve Rison presents Lukas Armstrong, member 300, with framed certificate at AGM. Members received cheques for first ever return on investment!! Thank you members!
Press Release Monday, October 21, 2008 DAWSON CREEK: Peace Energy Cooperative (PEC) surpassed two important milestones announced at their October 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM); on July 28th member 300 joined the cooperative and their 1st Class A Share investment return to members. Lukas Armstrong of Tomslake, BC had been considering joining PEC for quite awhile, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. Joining in July earned him the grand position of 300th member. Armstrong was presented with a specially framed membership certificate at the AGM held on the weekend in Dawson Creek. Executive Director Valerie Gilson hears the phrase, ‘I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but just haven’t done it until now’ frequently at the Peace Energy office on 103rd Avenue in Dawson Creek when a new member stops in to sign up in person. Gilson says, “Today…is always the best day to join.” Says member 300, “As we move into the 21st century it has become increasingly important to develop more intelligent methods of producing the energy we need. Peace Energy is a bold visionary in this development. Although many new technologies have been well proven and widely adopted by other countries, Canada is falling behind. Supporting organizations like Peace Energy will prove to be both financially and environmentally sound. Joining Peace Energy is one of the most effective ways to create the changes that have to happen, and I am proud to be a member.” Celebrating their 5th anniversary in October, Peace Energy is excited to have also announced their first return on investment to Class A Shareholders. Members in attendance at the AGM, who had invested in the cooperative to the end of 2007, received cheques from the cooperative recognizing their support during its growth and challenging periods. Steve Rison, Peace Energy President says, “it was a very attractive return. It was recognition for our members, for the support and the faith they have put in Peace Energy.” Also announced at the AGM was the cooperative opening up for further investment from their membership in Class A Shares. The sale of shares had been held at 3 per membership per year since 2006 and many members have been waiting for a new offering which is almost complete and will be ready for members shortly. This offering will allow further investment in Bear Mountain Wind and also allow Peace Energy to develop new renewable energy projects and programs. Peace Energy, grown from humble beginnings in 2002, offers a great vision for the Peace region to benefit from the tremendous renewable energy resources in the area. The brainchild of a group of local businessmen, Peace Energy has been a major player in the development of the Bear Mountain Wind Park. Says Gilson of their history, “Peace Energy obtained the right to investigate the wind resource on Bear Mountain. It’s very windy in the Peace; we knew wind development would come to the region as it had to other parts of Canada and around the world. PEC wanted to keep the benefit of the local resources for the community and we sought partners who would share that vision with us.” “Look what we have achieved with Bear Mountain Wind,” says Gilson. There are so many other renewable energy opportunities waiting to be developed. At this AGM it was clear from our enthusiastic members that they are ready to generate the future through their investment in the cooperative. Together, we are strongly positioned for success!” August 2008 Dawson Creek Mayor Calvin Kruk and representatives of AltaGas and Peace Energy Cooperative toured the Bear Mountain Wind Park construction site on August 12. Construction began in December of 2007 and continues to move along on schedule. Currently, roads and several foundations for the 34 turbine project are complete or near complete. Below are pictures from the site as workers prepare and pour a foundation. All photos by Don Pettit, Peace photoGraphics and courtesy of Bear Mountain Wind.

July 2008 Peace Energy Cooperative visited the construction site of Bear Mountain Wind Park in July.
Wind Project Proves Nature Can be Part of the Picture DAWSON CREEK, BC – A group of Peace Energy Cooperative (PEC) members toured the site of the Bear Mountain Wind Park this week to have a look at the construction underway on British Columbia’s first wind park.“We were thrilled to see that the site already looks like a park, the construction has been done so carefully. Finding a partner who would respect and maintain the natural values as much as possible was one of our primary goals when we went looking for a company that could develop the wind project,” said Peace Energy Cooperative Executive Director, Valerie Gilson. “Everyone involved in the road and tower pad preparation has done an amazing job. Even bird nesting sites have been protected. It’s an incredible example of how construction can be done.” PEC was started in 2003 with two main goals. “We exist to promote and support the development of renewable energy and sustainable living in the Peace Country of BC and Alberta,” said Gilson, “and to keep as much of the benefit from that development as we could in the region. So our members can invest in the projects that generate revenue. Bear Mountain Wind is our first project.”The Bear Mountain Wind Park project is situated about 15 kms southwest of the city of Dawson Creek, BC. Thirty-four towers will be installed and, by the fall of 2009, will generate enough electricity to power the entire BC South Peace region with renewable energy. Roads and tower pad construction will be completed this summer along the ridge that runs through the local Community Forest. The area is used to graze cattle and a variety of recreational activities such as hiking, trail riding and ATVing. As part of the original development partnership, Peace Energy Cooperative owns a portion of the Bear Mountain Wind park.

Climate Action Dividend Class A Share Incentive President, Steve Rison, signs his Climate Action Dividend cheque for a Class A Share investment Peace Energy has the answer to the recent most important question; what will you do with your $100 ‘green cash’? Peace Energy Cooperative will help you put it to work and make it greener! Peace Energy Cooperative is opening up Class A Share investments, which have, since 2006, been held at 3 shares per member, per year, and will allow you to purchase an additional Class A Share per membership during the month of July 2008! This is a one-time only offer and available only for 31 days!You must mail your cheque to the office, postmarked no later than July 31, to receive your additional Class A Share. Even though the Climate Action Dividend is for British Columbia residents (as described below) this opportunity is available to ALL members across the country! About the Climate Action Dividend for BC Residents The BC government has announced North America’s first “revenue neutral”carbon tax. In July every resident of BC who filed an income tax return for 2007, and every child of eligible tax payers, will receive a $100 “Climate Action Dividend” cheque. The Climate Action Dividend provides a non-taxable one-time payment to make it easier for British Columbians to choose a lower carbon lifestyle. British Columbia is leading the way with Balanced Budget 2008, which overturns the notion that you have to choose either a strong economy or a healthy environment.BC is investing more than $1 billion in climate action initiatives. At the same time, introducing new personal and business tax reductions. The changes in Balanced Budget 2008 will give British Columbians, by 2009, the lowest personal taxes in Canada on incomes up to $111,000. The Climate Action Dividend provides a non-taxable one-time payment. The question remains, what will you do with your $100? Your cooperative has the answer!
NEWS BITES – September 13, 2006 As part of comprehensive siting we use a combination of fixed meteorological (MET) towers and SODAR, together with microscale modeling techniques, to reduce uncertainties and obtain reliable, climatologically representative results. We have a total of four wind recording locations on Bear Mountain including the SODAR. Our Bear North Point MET tower at the north end of the west ridge was installed in August 2006 having been moved from a previous location on Bear Mountain. Along with Bear North Point we also have Bear Mid at the south end of the proposed wind park, and two data loggers on the communications tower on the north end of the ridge at the top of Tower Rd. Click on image below to see larger version.
SODAR, or Sonic Detection and Ranging, is an acoustic technology that we are using at the proposed Bear Mountain Wind Park project site to accurately measure the boundary layer’s wind profile and turbulence structure at heights above conventional meteorological towers (60m). Acting as a virtual tower, SODAR reliably measures the wind profile (wind speed and direction) up to heights of 150m using sonic (sound) detection at multiple heights. As part of comprehensive siting we use a combination of fixed meteorological towers and SODAR, together with microscale modeling techniques, to reduce uncertainties and obtain reliable, climatologically representative results. Knowledge of the wind profile provided by SODAR assists in turbine selection, predictions of energy production, wind plant maintenance, and proper site selection. In addition to providing high-resolution wind speed and direction data to significant heights, SODAR can also:
The portability of SODAR allows measurements to be easily taken at multiple locations within a project’s boundaries, with the added benefit of optimizing the future siting of individual turbines. Since the wind varies spatially and temporally, we will have the SODAR on different locations on Bear. Click on image below to see larger image. NEWS BITES – September 6, 2006 Here's a collection of news stories that have been written about Peace Energy and/or Bear Mountain Wind LP in the past couple of months. They will open as PDFs. Gathering Feedback on Wind Park Peace Energy Looks to Fund Small Demo Project Data Collection Key for Wind Project NEWS UPDATE – September 1, 2006 BMWLP submitted its bid to BC Hydro for the proposed 120MW wind park and was one of the winning bidders. A 25 year Energy Purchase Agreement (EPA) between BMWLP and BC Hydro was signed in August 28th, 2006.Tou can read more about both of these news items below. Meanwhile, the Environmental Assessment (EA) continues to work extensively on Bear Mountain including wildlife, biological, bird and bat studies, archaeology studies, as well as continued wind analysis and micro-siting. Further wind and atmospheric testing and environmental studies will continue into the fall with the EA application slated to be submitted in early September. Results of the studies will be shared at public meetings to be scheduled in the early fall after the submission of the EA. Bear Mountain Wind LP Signs Energy Purchase Agreement for Wind Farm in BC – August 28, 2006 Bear Mountain Windpower Project Wins BC Hydro Bid – July 27, 2006 Wind Park Project Under Study – Jan 12, 2006DAWSON CREEK, B.C. – The environmental assessment (EA) of the Bear Mountain and Kiskatinaw Ridge Wind Parks is underway with groundwork beginning in January. Aeolis Wind Power Corporation and Peace Energy Cooperative are celebrating the new year with the news that Hemmera and Robertson Environmental have subcontracted with local firm Ecofor Consulting Ltd. for parts of the EA work done on the mountain. “The subcontract awarded to Ecofor follows our community development principles,” says TJ Schur of Aeolis. “We want local expertise in this project and are pleased Ecofor is part of the team. We continue to investigate ongoing opportunities with local businesses and Northern Lights College.” Peace Energy, with a current membership of 176, welcomes the news of local involvement and continues to investigate opportunities for their shareholders and regional businesses. “Having the work underway is great news,” says Steve Rison of Peace Energy. “The EA is important as it involves public consultation so local people can have input and know in advance what is planned.” Ecofor, a company with an office in Dawson Creek since 2003, has been selected to conduct the wildlife, fisheries, and archeological studies that will be completed by mid summer of 2006. The EA is a critical step in the development and approval of the wind energy project. “We are very excited to be involved in this unique project,” says Kevin Wilson, Senior Biologist at Ecofor Dawson Creek. “Sometimes with projects of this size, local businesses get overlooked. It’s refreshing to see that our potential is being recognized and put to work in our own backyard.” “The preliminary work has been done,” says Wilson, “as soon as we get a continuous cover of snow we can begin the wildlife counts that will run through the winter.” Aeolis, as part of their working agreement with PEC, agreed to undertake the environmental assessment of the lands associated with the 123 MW Bear Mountain Wind Park. To that end Aeolis chose Hemmera Envirochem, a western Canadian consulting company that specializes in environmental sciences and management, to oversee the EA because of their experience and their ability and commitment to working with local companies. The EA for Bear Mountain and Kiskatinaw Wind Parks will be submitted in August of 2006, the same month that Aeolis and Peace Energy find out if Bear Mountain has been awarded a contract with BC Hydro. The Aeolis website at www.Aeoliswindpower.com and Peace Energy website at www.peaceenergy.ca are being updated to reflect the progress that has been achieved in the development process. City Council approves Phase One of the Community Energy Plan – September 21, 2005DAWSON CREEK, B.C. The City of Dawson Creek, by adopting the seven recommendations of the Pembina report, has engaged in a process of energy planning at a time when energy cost are rising. “Aeolis is excited to announce the installation of four new wind gauges (anemometers) on the tower owned by Standard Radio (CJDC/NTV) at Bear Mountain 10 kilometers west of Dawson Creek,” says TJ Schur, Director of External Relations for Aeolis. “This is an important step in determining the potential for wind power generation at the Bear Mountain site.” Aeolis, in cooperation with Peace Energy Co-op, is working towards the development of up to a 100 megawatt wind park on Bear Mountain. Peace Energy currently holds the lease on the 2,400 hectare site, and intends to offer its membership investment opportunities in the wind park. “Peace Energy owns the data collected from the former B.C. Hydro wind gauges,” says Steve Rison, president of Peace Energy. “The new gauges will allow us to confirm the validity of the data already collected while expanding the range of data that we can gather.” The new wind gauges have been installed at the heights of 60 and 85 meters on booms that clear the tower by 6.1 meters. The gauges at 85 meters are the highest from ground level in the province while the extension from the tower is to avoid a phenomenon called the tower effect. This is the turbulence in airflow caused by the towers themselves that might cause a misinterpretation of the data collected. “It is important to us to reevaluate the data already collected,” says Schur, “because we must have complete confidence in our assessment of the site before proceeding with plans for development.” “We are also grateful to Standard Radio (CJDC) for the enthusiasm they have shown in supporting a local initiative by allowing the gauges to be placed on their tower—we look forward to working with everyone in the region to realize this project.” Wind
