Runner upgrade for project requiring downstream passage for eel. There are is no change to the power output. This project replaces the existing Kaplan unit with a FishSafe™ Kaplan runner, new discharge ring, and runner housing fairings. The project uses the existing generator, and there is no change to the civil works.

Listed savings are the difference between the estimated cost for the proposed alternative for downstream fish passage and the estimated cost to upgrade the runner to this one designed by Natel. The proposed alternative costs for this site included installing a downstream bypass and close-spaced exclusion screening. This estimate also includes the generation loss from those additions.
