Community energy is a key component of the City’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and achieve its target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Buildings are the second-largest source of emissions in the City.

One major advantage of community energy systems is their ability to deliver renewable heating or cooling energy to an entire network in a cost-effective manner. For North Vancouver, this means that over 110 buildings can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions more quickly and at a fraction of the cost compared to each building acting independently.

Lonsdale Energy is working on several renewable and low-carbon projects. By 2027, at least 40% of the energy we provide will come from low-carbon technologies.
