Energy Conservation and Alternative Energy in Ontario

• Energy conservation:• Conservation / demand

management (CDM)• Geothermal / ground

source heat pumps• Deep Lake Water

Cooling• Solar thermal

• Renewable energy generation:

• Hydroelectric• Wind• Solar photovoltaic• Biomass / biogas / bio-oil• Landfill gas

• Clean energy:• Waste heat capture /

cogeneration• Natural gas cogeneration

• Other alternative energy:• Energy from waste

• Alternative fuels / energy storage:

• Biofuels• Hydrogen / fuel cells• Batteries

• Ontario has set renewable energy targets:

• 10% additional new renewable energy capacity contracted by 2010

• By 2025, double the amount of electricity drawn from renewable sources, bringing the total to 15,700 MW.

• Ontario is seeking to replace coal-fired electrical generation by 2014.

• Energy conservation goal – reduce peak demand by 6,300 MW by 2025.

NEW – Ontario’s Green Energy Act, 2009

Environmental Action - Ontario

The Green Energy and Green Economy Act (enacted on May 14, 2009) coordinates a number of actions to encourage the growth of renewable energy in Ontario, with two equally important thrusts:

• Making it easier to bring renewable energy projects to life, and

• Fostering conservation by assisting homeowners, government, schools and industry to move to lower and more efficient energy use.

• Conservation Bureau set up by the Ontario government in 2004 as part of the Ontario Power Authority

• Ontario energy conservation target is a reduction of 6,300 MW of peak demand by 2025

• Of this, more than 40 per cent will be saved by 2010, representing an investment of up to $2 billion by Ontario’s Conservation Bureau.

• Annually, local distribution companies (LDCs) deliver more than 500 energy conservation programs.

Energy Conservation in Ontario

Ground Source Heat Pumps / Solar Thermal

• In 2007, Ontario announced a target of 100,000 solar roofs (thermal and photovoltaic)

• Grants available for solar thermal systems – industrial / commercial / residential

• Renewed interest in ground source heat pumps – also known as:

• Earth Energy (term used by Natural Resources Canada)

• GeoExchange™ (term used by Canadian GeoExchange™ Coalition)

• Megawatt-scale solar photovoltaic ‘farms’ have been

proposed in Ontario

• New rates for solar photovoltaic electricity are being

proposed in draft Feed in Tariff, as part of Ontario’s

new Green Energy Act

100 kW Installation

Solar Photovoltaics

Geothermal - Deep Lake Water Cooling

• The Deep Lake Water Cooling system exchanges heat with water from Lake Ontario to cool buildings in downtown Toronto

• District energy system connects buildings underground

• Reduces electricity usage by 90%, freeing 61 MW from the power grid.

• Can air condition 100 office buildings – equivalent to 6800 homes.

Biomass / Biogas / Landfill Gas

Landfill gas from the Waterloo Facility is used to generate power for 2,500 homes.

• In 2007 a $9 million funding program for biogas systems was announced

• Up to $400,000 per project

• Biomass energy opportunities in Ontario’s agricultural and forestry sectors.

Hydroelectric Energy

• Ontario’s original source of electricity – currently 25% of power generation capacity

• Further hydroelectric development in northern Ontario is planned

• Prince Wind Farm I and II (Sault Ste. Marie) – second phase was completed in 2006.

• 126 wind turbines with capacity of 189 MW - providing electricity for up to 40,000 homes.

Wind Energy

Wind Energy: Rapid Growth

• Annual Average Growth in excess of 27% from 2006-2012

Ontario’s Total Capacity, Installed & Contracted: 2005 – 2012

• Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) – Centre for Energy

• Provides funding for academic research and academic/industry research partnerships

• In 2007, Centre of Energy was allocated $15 million to support R&D – 3 target areas:• Hydrogen

• Solar energy

• Energy conservation

• Six projects announced in 2008, with 3 focused on solar energy

Why Ontario?

Ontario’s renewable energy industry has developed as a result of several key factors:

• Ontario’s strong advanced manufacturing base – i.e. auto industry, aerospace and the many spin offs in both technology and expertise to address manufacturing challenges

• Strong R & D and commercialization coming out of Ontario’s Universities and Ontario Centres of Excellence

• Government incentives have spurred domestic demand for renewable energy solutions/technology. This in turn has provided the impetus for local capabilities to evolve to address this demand.

• Ontario companies tend to be SME’s , a size which is ideally suited to partnerships with Chilean counterparts and to growing together.

• Ontario companies have a long history of working internationally and have proven their adaptability, flexibility in providing the right solution for each situation
