 Alberta to add new renewable power to the Canadian electricity grid and advance Scotiabank's commitment to the use of 100% non-emitting energy.
TORONTO, February 11 2022 /3BL Media/ - Scotiabank and Evolugen, the Canadian operating business of Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEP) (NYSE: BEPC) (TSX: BEP.UN) (TSX: BEPC), today announced the signing of a 15-year renewable energy PPA for solar energy in Alberta from a new, to-be-constructed ~40 MW project, northeast of Cardston, Alberta. Once operational, Scotiabank will become the sole proprietor, purchasing 100% of the emission-free renewable electricity generated by the facility to help reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The agreement supports Scotiabank's Climate Commitments – the Bank's comprehensive approach to addressing climate change including decarbonizing its own operations and supporting clients in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
"We are extremely proud to embark on our partnership with Evolugen for the purchase of renewable power enabling us to more than offset our electricity carbon footprint across Canada," says Stephen Morson, Senior Vice President, Real Estate at Scotiabank. "We recognize the unique role we can play in the transition to a low-carbon, more resilient economy and this PPA agreement not only achieves our goal of securing 100% non-emitting electricity in Canada by 2025, but it also allows us to contribute to the growth of renewable energy development in Canada – a positive outcome for all involved."
Construction of Spring Coulee Solar is scheduled to begin in Summer 2022 with operations commencing in 2023. In its first year, Evolugen's Spring Coulee Solar facility is expected to generate close to 60,000 MWh of renewable electricity, the equivalent of powering approximately 9,000 Alberta homes per year. Through the power generated by more than 70,000 bi-facial photovoltaic solar panels, the project will save approximately 30,000 metric tonnes of GHG emissions annually. The project will also see the creation of up to 100 new construction jobs in Alberta with operations injecting more than $48 million into the local economy.
"We are very excited to work with our long-time partner, Scotiabank, to help them achieve their decarbonization goals" said Josée Guibord, CEO of Evolugen. "Going forward, we are well-positioned to partner with companies in Alberta to offer best-in-class clean energy solutions given our operating and development expertise, access to capital and high-quality development sites."

A bit of work to do dups for needs, but why would anyone buy the mega pack? They are doing this on the ships sets too, but at least there is a much better chance of a metallic. Previously, the mega pack either gives you the same as multiple less packs (eg CTI) or sometimes is slightly cheaper.The upcoming AMD Star processors will arrive in the third quarter of 2007. The Star processors will feature support for DDR2-1066 memory and will feature new SSE4A instructions. The SSE4A instruction set is compatible with Intel's SSE4, it only lacks the Intel 64-bit instructions.
The new Star family includes quad-core Agena, mainstream dual-core Kuma, entry dual core Rana, and single-core Spica. In addition, the old K8 architecture has been renamed to Cities. The new Star microarchitecture has lots of improvements includes : Hyper-Transport 3.0 (from 2GT/s to 5.2GT/s), 32B Instruction Fetch, more precise Branch Prediction and Out-of-Order Load Execution, 4 Double Precision FLOPS/Cycle, Dual 128Bit SSE calculation, and Load per Cycle. At the same clock speed, the new microarchitecture would further push the performance to another high. It should be noted that AM2+ and AM2 is compatible to each other. For example, Altair can work in the existing Socket AM2 main board, the only need is BIOS upgrade. Yet Hyper-Transport will get only 2GHz in Socket AM2 main board as ver. 2.0. Furthermore, AM2+ main board is also designed to support AM3, according to AMD’s AM2r2 specification.
AMD hopes the Star processors will grab 10 percent of the total shipments in its first quarter. By Q4 2007 this should rise to 20% and by Q1 2008 Star should account for 60% of all AMD's processor shipments. June was the daughter of Lester G. and Thelma (Shumway) Weinheimer, born April 19, 1928. She grew up in Western New York where in high school, June displayed her rebellious side by skipping school to see the popular bands of the day like Cab Calloway and Tommy Dorsey. This independent spirit drove her to attend Schauffler College in Cleveland, Ohio against her parents’ wishes and without their support. Marriage and motherhood interrupted her studies, but she later completed her B.S. and two master’s degrees in education at Eastern Michigan University. She taught in Ann Arbor Public Schools for 28 years and was an adjunct professor of education at both the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University. She was the first president of the Washtenaw Reading Association, and held offices in Phi Delta Kappa, after being one of the first two women admitted in 1971.
An inspiring educator, she enthusiastically wrote four study units on China, Kenya, Mexico, and Nepal for the Ann Arbor Public schools. She also authored a student reader and teachers’ guide on the United Nations titled “A Global Family.” Michigan State University awarded her the award for Community Contributions to International Understanding. Recently, a former student who had our mother as his 4th-grade teacher sent us a note to say that June was the best, most compassionate, and caring teacher he ever had. This is but one comment from many past students, parents, and fellow teachers who June influenced.
June also lived an engaged life in the Ann Arbor community. She was the first president of the Huron Valley United Nations Association–USA, co-founder of WPA, president of the Ann Arbor League of Women Voters, education chair of AAUW, and Convener of Gray Panthers, and she led the Drink Tap Water campaign in Ann Arbor. She was a finalist in the Ann Arbor News’ Citizen of the Year for 2002. She worked tirelessly to support public education in Michigan, voter protection initiatives, social justice, and anti-nuclear proliferation. A lifelong member of MEA/NEA, she also volunteered at Women’s Action for New Directions, and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. The many bumper stickers that she proudly displayed on the back of her car always let people know the causes she believed in and supported.
June was a lifelong learner, curious about the world and eager to experience other cultures by hosting foreign students in her home and through international travel. Some of her favorite destinations were Nepal, Kenya, Mexico, China, Japan, Australia, Costa Rica, Germany, India, and Egypt. She passed this spirit of adventure and drive to learn on to her children and grandchildren. At home, she was an avid gardener and amateur geologist who enjoyed spending many hours tending to her garden and adding new rocks to her collection. A lifelong teacher, she was also fond of sharing her knowledge and passion for environmental and geopolitical topics with her family and friends. She could often be counted on to share news clippings, books, and other materials with her loved ones.
She is survived by her dearly loved daughter Ellen, son Eric, his wonderful wife Om, and four delightful grandchildren, Jason & Maya Rusten, Jenny Clement, and Gabriel West, of whom she was immeasurably proud. There are many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, members of our Nepalese extended family in the US, Nepal, and around the world as well as close friends whom she loved dearly. June was preceded in death by her former husband Philip Elroy Rusten, her daughter Ann West, her sisters Joan Chilcott, Joyce Kelley, Josephine Schiedel, and her brother and sister-in-law Lester (Bud) and Virginia Weinheimer.
We will greatly miss our mother, grandmother, aunt, and good friend. She lived a long and purposeful life full of good deeds, kindness towards others, and wonderful adventures.
The family will host a brief memorial/remembrance ceremony in Ann Arbor on August 6th at 10:00 a.m. at First Un
