The Kamdis Tidal Power Project is a proposed 2 MW renewable power project intended to displace diesel-generated electricity for remote off-grid communities across the Haida Gwaii archipelago. Phase 1 is a 500 kW demonstration to prove the technology at commercial scale and interconnect through BC Hydro’s North Grid

Haida Gwaii’s north grid has historically relied heavily on diesel generation. Kamdis is designed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while delivering firm renewable power. The project’s estimated emissions reductions are 6,675 tonnes CO₂e/year per 500 kW module, and 38,401 tonnes CO₂e/year at full scale.

The proposed site is on the east side of Masset Inlet, on the unceded lands and waters of the Haida Nation, selected through evaluation of multiple sites and consultation with the Council of the Haida Nation.

Kamdis is intended to be advanced as an equity partnership with Tll Yaahda Energy (TYE), a Haida-led energy company. At this stage, we are working under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that sets out the shared intent to develop the project together and embed Haida values, community benefits, and long-term stewardship obligations from the outset.
