OVERVIEW

Heat from household waste

As the adage goes, one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Our Prince Edward Island district energy plant converts municipal solid waste and biomass to energy. Not only does this dramatically reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfill on the island, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by reducing fuel oil use for heating and power.  The added flexibility to switch between fuel types also enhances reliability and controls costs.

Reliability at the island’s largest hospital

With round-the-clock patient care, hospitals and other health care facilities depend on reliable energy. At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, Enwave’s district energy system supplies heat, hot water and equipment sterilization, keeping critical systems running smoothly and energy costs predictable.

Enwave helps create comfortable environments for students and staff at the University of Prince Edward Island’s campus.  District energy is more reliable and cost-effective than traditional heating alternatives especially for energy-intensive buildings like the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre – a massive facility with swimming pools, ice rinks, a cafeteria, day care and fitness centre.
