July 3, 2013 - P.E.I. has approved two contracts to install biomass heating systems in 13 buildings across the province in an effort to reduce its reliance on expensive and environmentally harmful fossil fuels.
The
systems are to be installed over the next three years, says the dailybusinessbuzz.ca website.
Company

•
Western Hospital
•

The
contracts are for 20-year terms and the companies are responsible for the
design, construction and operation of the units.
Converting

and the contracts will have a combined economic impact of more than $500,000
annually, because of the labour and materials required.
