Summary
Enwave Energy Corporation (Enwave) commissioned its new Enwave Green Heat™ Plant during a ceremony at the Pearl Street Energy Centre in Toronto today. This announcement is a monumental step in further enabling Enwave to provide low-carbon heating through its Enwave Green Heat™ program to Toronto’s world-renowned district energy system. The Plant has been designed to reduce its electricity demand during peak times while continuing to provide reliable, low-carbon heating and cooling – demonstrating the ability of district energy to enable the decarbonization and electrification of Toronto’s buildings while making more efficient use of Ontario’s electricity infrastructure.
In an effort to provide decarbonization at scale, the plant will leverage waste heat from Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) system customers – including data centres, hospitals, scientific research facilities and lab spaces – which is then upgraded through the electrified heat pump into hot water. This allows the plant to provide heat to other district-connected customers, while potentially reducing new electricity peak generation, distribution and transmission infrastructure that would otherwise be required, if heating was provided by stand-alone electrified solutions. Enwave’s award-winning DLWC system and its Enwave Green Heat™ Plant directly support Ontario’s first Integrated Energy Plan, which aims to ensure that the Province of Ontario has the energy it needs to power homes and industries, today and in the decades to come.
