Great Northern Tri-Gen Facility (11.3 MW) - Kingsville
Commercial Operation on October 31, 2008
Great Northern Tri-Gen Facility is a natural gas-fired 12 MW combined heat and power facility that will operate on the property of Great Northern Hydroponics, in Kingsville, Ontario. In addition to electricity production, hot water and carbon dioxide from the cogeneration facility will be used by Great Northern Hydroponics for heating and fertilizing crops in the existing 50 acre hydroponics greenhouse.
The cogeneration facility will consist of four (4) reciprocating gas engine generating units located inside a separate building, treated with acoustic insulation to minimize noise levels. The generating units will be equipped with a selective catalytic reducer to treat the exhaust. Any carbon dioxide that is generated will be used by the hydroponics greenhouse.
