Ontario, Canada is now using more of its allotted water from the Niagara River for hydroelectric energy, thanks to the completion of the $. billion Niagara Tunnel Project.
The new tunnel, which is . miles in length and feet wide, is channeling additional water from the Niagara River to flow to the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station at a rate of , gallons per second. This will supply Ontario with enough clean, renewable electricity to power , homes for the next years.
The Niagara River forms the international border dividing Canada and the US. The Niagara Treaty spells out the agreement for the two countries to share the CG Leads river’s water. A minimum amount of water is guaranteed to flow over the falls. The balance – about two-thirds of average water flow – is split between the two jurisdictions for the generation of hydroelectricity. In recent years, Canada didn’t have enough infrastructure in place to use all of its allotted water.
The Niagara Tunnel, built by Ontario Power Generation, Ontario’s publicly owned power utility, is the largest hydroelectric project to come into service in Ontario for the past years.
The Niagara Tunnel is as high as a four-story building. About , cubic yards of concrete was used to create the -foot-thick tunnel liner.
The tunnel was filled with water this month. Since , more than MW of new, upgraded and refurbished waterpower projects have come online in Ontario.
The company commissioned PwC to carry out an independent review of output from its Our Impacts software, in line with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales’ Code of Ethics. The software uses Ecometrica’s comprehensive databases of emission and conversion factors. Algorithms automatically select the most appropriate emission and conversion factors, according to the input data, and calculate GHG emissions in real time.
Audit-ready outputs will provide certainty to companies affected by these regulations that the results can withstand external stakeholder scrutiny, without the need for subsequent time-consuming and costly revisions, Ecometrica says.
The GHG Regulations requires London Stock Exchange-listed companies to assess and measure global GHG impacts from a range of different sources, including energy, vehicles and refrigeration equipment. Outputs from a GHG accounting system are required to be fit for purpose and may be subject to independent audit.
PwC director of risk assurance Fraser Wilson says the audited data provision will likely see environmental accounting processes develop so that they provide better, faster and more effective outputs.
