Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx expect to start working on a development and master construction agreement with a preferred team next summer.

Construction will start later this year, with the facility scheduled to come online in late 2025. Once complete, it will store 80 megawatts of power.

The U of T Scarborough residence building is now officially the largest passive-certified building in Canada.

Skepticism and a lack of awareness keep people from using the incentives. Targeted campaigns are needed along with training for HVAC technicians.

The organization says the plan will secure more than 1,600 megawatts (MW) of generating capacity and create more than 500 highly skilled jobs.
