TOP100 2024 Report - Report - Page 46
Toronto is embarking on the largest and most significant stormwater management
program in the city’s history. This program will greatly improve the water quality
in the Lower Don River, Taylor-Massey Creek and along Toronto’s Inner Harbour by
keeping combined sewer overflows out of our waterways by upgrading technology and
increasing the system’s capacity to capture, transport and treat them. The project is
comprised of an integrated system of tunnels, storage shafts, connections, an integrated pumping station, a high-rate treatment facility, a real-time control system and
wastewater treatment plant upgrades. The program is made up of several individual
26
projects that will work together, including the Don River and Central Waterfront
Wet Weather Flow System, the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant (ABTP) Integrated
Pumping Station, ABTP Ultra-Violet (UV) Disinfection Facility, ABTP Landform and
high-rate treatment facility, and the ABTP Outfall.

Energy Services Acquisition Program’s
Energy Service Modernization
$3 BILLION
Within the National Capital Region (NCR), Public Services and Procurement
Canada (PSPC) is responsible for heating 80 buildings and cooling 67 buildings. As
part of PSPC’s activities, the Energy Services Acquisition Program was established
in 2009 to explore new business models for the provision of energy services in the
NCR. The modernization project is looking for an energy
services solution for PSPC’s five central heating and
cooling plants (CHCP) and their associated distribution
networks within the NCR. As part of the new District Energy System, the design phase for the Modernized Gatineau
Energy Centre began in spring 2022, and construction
is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The
new centre is part of the District Energy System and
when operational, will be carbon neutral and one of the
cleanest, most sustainable energy centres of this scale in
North America. By 2027, the entire District Energy System
will be modernized and converted from an energy-intensive and high-polluting steam system to a state-of-the-art
low-temperature hot-water system, reducing greenhouse
gas emissions from heating and cooling operations by an
estimated 92 per cent.
