Project SPEEDIER’s GHG Emission Reduction Baseline Report shows less emissions by next year

To mark this year’s Earth Day, Bracebridge Generation (BG) announced the GHG Emission Reduction Baseline Reporting for Project SPEEDIER is done. 

The project’s team revealed the baseline report showed significant reduction potential as soon as next Earth Day.

SPEEDIER is one of the first projects to assist Parry Sound in its goal of becoming one of the first net-zero communities in Canada.

The three-year local project is led by BG with support from the Town of Parry Sound, Georgian College and a $3.75-million investment from Ottawa

The initiative follows Natural Resources Canada’s objectives of reducing GHG emissions, adhering to Canada’s Paris Agreement commitments, and maintaining the natural beauty of the Parry Sound area.

Project assets include;

1. A 500kW AC/648kW DC Solar Net Metering Solution, 
2. A 2.514 MWh Tesla Battery Energy Storage System,
3. A Level III DC Electric Vehicle Fast Charger
4. Three Level II Electric Vehicle chargers,
5. 10 Tesla home Powerwalls
6. And 50 hot water tank controllers. 

Leading the project is Scott McCrindle, a professor in Georgian’s Computer Studies academic area.

McCrindle led the research, determining the existing emissions that would be negated by deploying each of the previously mentioned assets, considering product specifications, deferred or removed electricity generation, industry best practices and vendor data.
