**The Solution**

Kiewit and Veolia North America have collaborated to design, build, finance, operate and maintain an innovative turnkey central energy hub that incorporates these sustainable design features:



 

 

 



### Renewable Energy Purchasing

Power purchase agreements (PPAs) will ensure a supply of renewable electricity, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

### Digital Energy Management

Veolia's Hubgrade digital platform will monitor and manage energy use efficiently, optimizing consumption and reducing waste.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

### Community Engagement

A task force will drive ongoing improvement and engage stakeholders in implementing sustainable practices.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 





### Electrification

The project will install electrified boilers to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

### Waste Heat Recovery

Waste heat recovery technology will generate 75% of the facility's heating, maximizing energy efficiency.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 





 

 

 

 





**Projected Outcome**

| **68%** **lower carbon footprint** | **75%** **heat to come from waste heat recovery** |
|---|---|



Additional electric boilers enable low carbon operation from day one, provided renewable energy power purchase agreements are in place.
