Origin
Summary
This report requests authority for the General Manager, Toronto Water, to enter into negotiations with Enwave Energy Corporation (Enwave) to amend the Energy Transfer Agreement (ETA) on the basis of a proposed expansion to the Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) system. Enwave has approached the City with a proposal to increase the size of the DLWC system, based on a new raw water diversion system, originating at Toronto Water’s Island Water Treatment Plant (WTP).
The proposal has sufficient technical merit and potential to provide benefits to the City including increasing revenues, rehabilitating existing equipment with minimal City investment, capitalizing on abandoned infrastructure and establishing environmental improvements. If mutually beneficial terms can be agreed upon, a DLWC expansion will be an opportunity to strengthen an existing strategic business partnership providing benefits to both parties.
