Toronto Community Housing Receives $635,000 Enbridge Rebate for Energy Efficiency Projects
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/16 -- Note to editors: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Jamie Milner, Vice President at Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (Enbridge) presented a cheque for just over $635,000 to Toronto Community Housing''s President and CEO Greg Spearn yesterday. The contribution - one of the biggest energy efficiency incentives ever issued by Enbridge - is to offset the costs for energy efficiency improvements made by Toronto Community Housing in 2015 as part of the company''s 10-year capital repair program. The rebate will be reinvested to fund additional energy efficiency upgrades to aging Toronto Community Housing buildings across the city.
At the Toronto Community Housing Board Meeting, Milner congratulated Spearn on their conservation efforts. As part of the most recent project, 90 boilers that provide space and water heating to 43 apartment buildings were upgraded. These boiler replacement projects will achieve close to 1.6 million m3 and $300,000 of annual natural gas savings. This is substantial considering that 27 per cent of Toronto Community Housing''s operating expenses are slotted for utility costs. This incentive payment will significantly offset increases in electricity and water costs.
