Supplying electricity and steam to Pearson International Airport, through two natural gas turbines.
After the black out in the summer of 2003, the Greater Toronto Airport Authority decided it was a good idea to generate their own energy. Construction of the facility started in July 2004, and by February 2006 its 117-MW gas-fired combined-cycle was putting electrons on the Ontario grid. Steam from the cogen plant feeds the adjacent Central Utilities Plant (CUP) built to produce heated and chilled water.
