TRCA Pearson Eco-Business Zone District Energy Feasibility Study 10 April 2012 Appendices The majority private ownership in Enwave came gradually. The City initially put up what was deemed to be a 50% share in the form of the existing assets of TDHC (their rights to which go back to a multi-million dollar loan the City provided to effect the original integration of the steam system from several older systems). The private partner, Borealis (the investment arm of OMERS) has achieved its majority share through additional capital investment in system expansion. The original business plan for the DES in Windsor was back-stopped by an unusually large anchor customer, Casino Windsor which ensured sufficient firm revenue in capacity charges (for four services; heating, cooling, steam and emergency power) to support a DBFOM contract with an external developer of the Energy Centre that made split ownership originally viable for all parties. This scenario cannot be relied on to be replicable for Project Green. The 50% share in SDEC by Toromont came with preferred vendor status. The only two case histories examined where municipalities currently have zero ownership are both smaller systems, Cornwall District Heating and Dockside Green. Cornwall District Heating was originally developed as a City initiative and then acquired by Fortis later as a goingconcern. Dockside Green Energy is a very small utility in its early stages, operating in a regulated environment in BC and its establishment was strongly mandated by the City of Victoria as a covenant on transfer of City land to the real estate developer. Dockside Green Energy is an early example of another DE developer model that may be emerging in Canada, which might be called the developer campus model. This is where a real estate developer plans and builds a small DES to serve only their own buildings. There is another example under construction in Quebec City caller Cité Verte. Experience over the past two decades does not necessarily argue that non-municipally controlled utility DES development would not be possible in Project Green, only that it would be the first in Canada for many years of a comparably sized development. 160
TRCA Pearson Eco-Business Zone District Energy Feasibility Study 10 April 2012 Appendices 21 Appendix K: Ontario Ministry of Environment Regulations This appendix outlines the following Ministry of Environment (MOE) regulations and guidelines that may apply to the proposed project. • Regulation 116/01 – Environmental Assessment Requirements for Electricity Projects • Regulation 419/05 – Air Pollution – Local Air Quality • Guideline A-9 – NOX Emissions from Boilers-Heaters • Guideline A-10 - Procedure for Preparing an Emission Summary and Dispersion Modeling Report • Guideline A-12 – Guideline for the Implementation of Air Standards in Ontario (GIASO) • Guideline for the Installation and Operation of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems and their use for reporting under the provisions of O. Reg. 127/01 21.1 Regulation 116/01 – Environmental Assessment Requirements for Electricity Projects This regulation establishes the EA requirements for new power generation facilities and related transmission lines and transformer stations. The MOE have developed three categories that range from no requirements to an individual EA; the selection of which depends on the size of the undertaking and the proposed fuel/energy source. The Regulation does not apply to cogeneration facilities, 60%. Appropriate sizing and phasing of the project is necessary to ensure the 60% efficiency hurdle is met. 21.2 Regulation 419/05 – Air Pollution – Local Air Quality A Certificate of Approval (C of A) must be obtained whenever contaminants are discharged into the environment from any equipment or structure. Typical contaminants emitted from a CHP system include combustion products like oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds as well as noise and vibration. Section 9 of the Environmental Protection Act forms the basis for the Air and Noise Approval Program in Ontario and requires companies to obtain a C of A prior to the construction of new equipment that emits a contaminant (air, noise or vibration) into the natural environment. This regulation outlines the air quality standards that apply to discharges of contaminants into the environment and the approved dispersion models that can be applied to confirm that concentrations at points of impingements (POI). Reporting to the MOE must follow the Emission Summary and Dispersion Modeling (ESDM) format described in the Regulation. Regulation 419/05 applies to the proposed EC and CHP system. 21.2.1 Air Quality In order to obtain approval under Section 9 of the EPA, the proponent is required to demonstrate compliance with point of impingement limits through the preparation of a report, which will help determine the required stack height. In order to demonstrate compliance with this regulation it is generally necessary to engage an emissions consultant to perform air dispersion modeling. There are three tiers of air quality standards included in O. Reg. 419/05. Schedule 1 contains half hour averaged POI limits, Schedule 2 contains updated standards with half hour averaged 161
