Malibu Hydro... Introduction     Updated March 20, 2025

Celebrating 163,817 hours of hydro power as of March 2025. Averaging a 300 kW load, this works out to be 49,145,100 Kilowatt hours produced, and if valued at 30 cents a Kilowatt hour if camp was still on diesel, that would be worth 14.7 million dollars!

For more than 50 years, Young Lifes Malibu Club in Canada has been subjected to the continual roar and expense of diesel generators. Now, all that has changed! In 2003 we began working on a plan to harness the energy of a near by creek to produce all the electrical power requirements of the camp with our own hydro electric generator. This dream finally came true on Saturday, June 10, 2005.
This web site is presented to outline the scope of this project and to report on the ongoing success. The many pictures and text will familiarize you with the various aspects of this and other hydro systems. For a brief summary of the web site click on 'Overview' or 'Quick Facts'.
The web cameras are updated every two hours, the 'larger view' link will take you to a full size image.
Feedback or comments are always appreciated, so if you have a moment, drop us a brief email. The address is below. Enjoy!

The cameras are still working, but there seems to be a connection issue at camp. I am investigating. Thanks to Steve G.

No picture available.This is a solar powered camera and it shuts down when the battery is low. It also depends on a clear radio path and this gets blocked some times. The camera may loose its ip address and this can not be fixed remotely. The web cam system is my own equipment, and there is only so much I can do to keep it all working remotely. My applogies for the down time.
