Project Summary
The City of Richmond operates three district energy utilities—Alexandra, Oval Village, and City Centre—providing efficient thermal energy for space and water heating in residential and commercial buildings. These systems use low-carbon and recovered-heat sources, supporting the City’s target to reduce community GHG emissions by 50% by 2030.
