The Ottawa Hospital and Hydro Ottawa partner on innovative new central utility plant
The Ottawa Hospital and Hydro Ottawa are thrilled to announce a partnership to build an energy efficient central utility plant to support TOH’s state-of-the-art new hospital and advance sustainable energy generation in Ottawa.
TOH President and CEO Cameron Love and Hydro Ottawa President and CEO Bryce Conrad have signed a memorandum of understanding to move forward with planning and construction of the new plant.
The new central utility plant will support emergency power, heating, cooling, steam, and domestic hot water requirements for the new hospital.
