Waste heat from some of the largest district energy customers in downtown Toronto can now be recaptured to further stretch the system’s capacity and reduce peak electricity demand.

A sustainable district energy system will soon transform the site of a former coal-burning power generating station into a green community.

The project is expected to accelerate the decarbonization of downtown, equivalent to 20 net-zero office towers.

Brookfield Infrastructure is selling 100 per cent of Enwave, its North American district energy enterprise that includes the deep lake water cooling network in Toronto.

The Well will anchor the expansion of Enwave’s deep lake water cooling and hot water distribution networks with the installation of a below-grade thermal energy storage facility.
