TOP100 2025 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. By 2027, the entire District
Energy System will be modernized and
converted from an energy-intensive and
high-polluting steam system to a state-ofthe-art low-temperature hot-water system,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
heating and cooling operations by an
estimated 92 per cent.
