Barnston/Maple Ridge Pump Station Energy Recovery | https://metrovancouver.org/about-us/sustainability-innovation-fund/project/4 | Barnston/Maple Ridge Pump Station Energy Recovery | Energy & climate change | Complete | | <div class="ExternalClassD620345E33434E9AA2F5F2330EBC8E38"><p>This project is expected to generate electricity by using turbines to harness excess energy from drinking water that flows through the pump station.</p><p>The turbines would run during fall, winter, and spring, when the pumps are not in operation and the water is flowing by gravity. The proposed turbine project was initiated in 2016 by using Sustainability Innovation Funds to prepare applications for a Water License for power purposes, for a BC Hydro Interconnection Screening Study, and for BC Hydro's Standing Offer Program for purchase of electricity.</p><p>If a suitable electricity purchase agreement can be established with BC Hydro, the turbine project would proceed to design and construction as an opportunity project using capital funds. The project is expected to produce approximately 800 MWh of local, clean energy each year, which is equivalent to the amount of electricity used by 75 households.<br></p></div> | <div class="ExternalClassF00AD8C9AEDA43418AB66ABE39E47DB9"><p>The applications for a Water License and a BC Hydro Interconnection Screening Study were submitted. First Nations engagement was completed prior to submitting the applications. The project ultimately did not proceed because BC Hydro suspended applications to the Standing Offer Program in August 2017, and indefinitely suspended the program in February 2019. <br></p></div> | GP0|#a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c;L0|#0a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c|Water;GTSet|#ab8a80a3-ac09-4cde-99c1-454c04cb5931 | City of Pitt Meadows | 2016 | <div class="ExternalClassB663D56DCC89459FBA4A0029C08D7233">
