City of Richmond - Interim Energy Centre (IEC) proposed to service Capstan/Aberdeen areas

Approved

At the General Purposes Committee on April 7th, Council approved the interim use of City-owned properties at 3760, 3780 Sexsmith Road, and 8651 Cambie Road for a district energy Interim Energy Centre (IEC) to service the Capstan and Aberdeen areas. IEC#8 would be in place for an interim period, estimated to be between 10 and 20 years. Once a permanent energy centre is built to connect customers serviced by IEC#8, IEC#8 would be decommissioned, and the site would be returned to the City. Should the pace of development delay construction of future permanent energy centres, there is a possibility that IEC#8 would remain in place for a longer period of time.

Additional information can be found in the full report by City staff.
