Table 4-14: PSECA Initiative Program Forecast
Among this second group of projects are 12 central thermal plant upgrade projects, 4 of which
consist of conversions to open loop type geoexchange heat pump systems with gas boiler
backup. These will significantly reduce natural gas consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions at each of the affected facilities.
Throughout 2011 and into 2012 FortisBC staff will expend a considerable amount of time and
effort to inspect completed PSECA projects to ensure the approved energy saving measures
have been built as described and are fully complete and operational prior to issuing payment.
This will ensure incentives are only paid out where warranted.
Further to this, in 2013, after all the approved energy saving measures have been installed for a
minimum of one full heating season, FortisBC staff will review the program’s actual energy
savings versus the claims of the energy studies. The results of the review will be used to refine
the custom design program.
4.4.2.5.4 PSECA Initiative Summary
The combined 2010 and 2011 PSECA program activity will generate an overall TRC result
above 1.4 by the time work in the program is finalized in late 2011 or early 2012. The
Companies believe the PSECA initiative, offered in collaboration with the Climate Action
Secretariat and BC Hydro, will successfully encourage public sector organizations to
significantly reduce natural gas consumption and GHG emissions.
