Client Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) – Energy Services Acquisition Program (ESAP) |
|
|
Duration April 2020 to March 2021 [12 Months] [Delivery Based] |

| Project Description | |
| Development of Modernized Gatineau Energy Centre (MGEC) facility at the National Printing Bureau site to build an energy center of 30 MW heating and cooling to decarbonized ESAP’s district energy network. | |
| Scope and objective | |
|
The construction of MGEC will provide fuel-switching to Hydro-Quebec electricity as the preferred carbon-neutral energy source, displacing natural gas as the primary heating energy source enabling National Capital Region District Energy Service operations to achieve 92% GHG emission reductions on a system basis by 2030. The objective was to develop a Concept Design package to seek approval from key stakeholder such as, but not limited to, the National Capital Commission, the City of Gatineau, the property owner in closed proximity to the development site and seek an agreement in principle by Treasury Board to further proceed to next Schematic Design Phase. This initiative was under the leadership of the Deeper Greening Program (stage II) reporting to ESAP. |
