Looks like everyone is under the tarps just taking a nap...
Probably the reason Canada Place has lost power twice in the past two weeks. It's been a hassle for those of us working from home and connecting remotely.They were working on the deep utilities and Rainwater storage. (you can see it in the photos)Nice to see it moving again.
Downtown District Energy Initiative - Status Report
Downtown District Energy Initiative - Winspear Agreement
- In the spring Council approved funding for a scaled-down first phase of the Downtown District Energy Initiative that includes a Central District Energy Plant located at the Winspear Centre.
- EPCOR and Administration entered into a memorandum of understanding on July 22 and have agreed "to initially have the City own the system, with Council becoming its regulator of thermal energy."
- EPCOR and Administration will develop a business case by Aug. 31, 2020, generate a term sheet by Nov. 30, 2020, and enter into definitive agreements by March 31, 2021.
- "The parties will provide an update to Council in the fourth quarter of 2020 for the potential approval of a term sheet on the Project with EPCOR."
- The Downtown District Energy project involves the construction of the district energy shell building that is integrated into the building that is currently under construction as part of the Winspear Centre expansion project.
- Construction costs for the shell building are estimated at $7,126,908 with work anticipated to start in October 2020 and a tentative completion date of March 2021. The building has already been designed.
- Administration recommends that Council approve the funding required to "ensure that the Winspear construction schedule is not impacted."
