Community Energy Systems. Manitoba municipalities spent $3.9 million on 25 community energy projects (3.8% of total GTF/PTF projects). GTF funds levered another $3.6 million in other funding, resulting in total spending of $7.5 million on community energy projects. Projects under this category resulted in lower heating bills, increased energy efficiency and improved energy use. Total # of projects 25 Total GTF used $3.9 million Total funds levered $3.6 million Total project Costs $7.5 million • 13 municipal buildings were built with energy efficient heating systems • 9 municipal buildings were retrofitted with energy efficient including installation of new geo-thermal heating • 3 projects involved the installation of street lights
Community Energy Systems i) Cogeneration or combined heat and power projects (where heat and power are produced through a single process);
ii) District heating and cooling projects where heat (or cooling) is distributed to more than one building.

Community Energy Systems. Fourteen community energy projects, at a total cost of $4,339,305, were completed in the Incorporated Areas. Of these projects, six have reported on NB PMF indicators. These projects promote reductions in energy or fuel consumption. Table 5.1.4: Results for Community Energy System projects in Incorporated Areas Completed Projects 14 Federal Contribution $707,754 Provincial Contribution $6,194 Municipal and Other $3,625,357 Decrease in kWh consumed (kWh/year) 214,995.2 6 Decreased volume of fuel consumption (l/year) 1,395 1 The Incorporated Areas completed 00 xxxxx xxxx, bridge and active transportation projects at a total cost of $10,152,467. Of these, 31 projects have reported their NB PMF indicators. Projects in this category have the following primary purposes: • Improved local roads and traffic circulation • Developed active transportation Table 5.1.5: Results for Local Road and Bridge projects in Incorporated Areas Completed Projects 36 Federal Contribution $8,048,801 Provincial Contribution $0 Municipal and Other $2,103,666 # of km improved/resurfaced to a prov. standard 24.4 21 # of km of path/sidewalk/hiking & walking trails or cycling lanes built 15.8 14 Five projects have resulted in an investment of $1,631,005 in sporting infrastructure in the Incorporated Areas. All projects have reported on NB PMF indicators. Projects in this category are all geared toward construction and renewal or enhancement of amateur sports infrastructure.

Community Energy Systems. Retrofits of local government-owned buildings. • Energy systems such as renewable energy, combined heat and power (CHP), cogeneration and district energy. • Street lighting retrofits. • Other capital energy Projects as may be deemed appropriate by the Minister.
Community Energy Systems. The Department and all eligible recipients of funds agreed on acceptable performance indicators for each project in their Capital Investment Plan (CIP). The Gas Tax Fund (GTF) eligible recipients must submit an annual outcomes report as well as an annual expenditure report on their projects to the Department so all results can be tracked in the NB GTF database for eventual roll-up of the data and reporting of the outcomes at the provincial level. New Brunswick Communities have completed a total of 343 projects during the Reporting Period with a total investment of $159,995,191 ($108,862,324 federal, $11,096,410 provincial, $40,036,457 municipal and other) in all seven categories of the GTF. We are providing the breakdown for federal funding, total investments and the number of projects for each GTF national objective or objective groups as tracked for all of our projects, in Table 1 below. These figures reveal that NB Communities have invested over 90% of the federal funds, on projects during the Reporting Period, towards the cleaner water and the lower greenhouse gas objectives. Table 1: Statistics on Projects per Agreement Objective Cleaner Air $3,984,364 $7,314,621 21 Cleaner Water $64,829,596 $84,299,992 134 Lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) $30,244,289 $54,353,756 121 Cleaner Air & Cleaner Water $1,887,877 $3,522,947 5 Cleaner Air & Lower GHG $832,068 $1,525,095 4 Cleaner Water & Lower GHG $5,131,170 $6,522,762 17 Cleaner Air & Cleaner Water & Lower GHG $1,042,284 $1,042,284 3 Please note that the Department did not assign any Agreement objective to the 38 Capacity Building projects under the GTF. To perform a reconciliation of the totals of Table 1 with the figures indicated in the first paragraph of the Results heading, add the federal share of $910,676 and the Total Project Cost of $1,413,734 to the totals of Table 1. The number of projects per category for the 343 projects completed by NB Communities is displayed in Figure 1 below. You will notice that the three categories with the most projects are: Local Roads and Bridges, Wastewater, and Water. Figure 1: Distribution of Projects by Category The cumulative results of all completed projects that have reported NB PMF indicators are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2: Summary of Performance Indicators for the Reporting Period Length of water and wastewater lines 119,659 m Connections to water and wastewater systems 481 clients Decreased energy consumption 4,011,557 kWh/year Increased ridership 97,474 users/y...
Community Energy Systems. This is the second New Brunswick Gas Tax Fund Outcomes Report (Report). It provides an analysis of performance indicators generated by those projects that were completed during the Reporting Period and that have filed their annual project outcomes report with the Department: Incorporated Areas during the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2012 (end of municipal fiscal year); and Unincorporated Areas during the period April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2013 (end of the provincial fiscal year).
