Gift agreement worth $3M to new Oakville hospital Hatch and Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) have announced a gift agreement for Hatch's donation of a photovoltaic solar array power system to the new Oakville hospital worth $3 million. Power generated and sold through the state-of-the-art rooftop solar array will help fund the Oakville Hospital Foundation through the Ontario Power Authority's (OPA) Feed In-Tariff (FIT) program. After two years of design work and planning, Hatch, a Canadian-owned and globally operating engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) firm, anticipates construction of the 500 KW solar array to begin in 2015. The elevated array, located on the parking garage roof top, has been designed by Hatch to be architecturally unique with best-inclass energy components, manufactured exclusively in Ontario and offering the highest efficiency ratings. "Hatch has had a long relationship with Oakville and is proud to provide the new hospital with an environmentally-friendly and sustainable source of power and revenue," said Rob Lydan, Hatch's global director of solar power, in a statement announcing the initiative Monday. "We are a significant employer in Oakville and the GTA, and many of our employees live here." The gift from Hatch consists of capital expenditure plus full design of the structure and modules, as well as procurement, permitting, construction, commissioning, and handover to HHS. The FIT contract, developed by Hatch with the Ontario Power Authority (OPS) and in partnership with Oakville Hydro and Hydro One, will provide the Oakville Hospital Foundation with revenue of $5 million over a 20-year period. "Halton Healthcare Services is pleased to be the recipient of this extraordinary donation to the hospital," said Bill Bailey, vice-president, redevelopment, HHS. "The new Oakville hospital will showcase new technologies, leading edge design features and an environment that promises tremendous benefit to the community. "We are constructing a state-of-theart healthcare facility for our community and are delighted that Hatch has chosen to partner with us. Hatch is bringing the very latest in solar array technology to our project using an innovative rooftop design," said Bailey. The Oakville Hospital Foundation partners with the community to fund essential medical equipment for Oakville's hospital in order to enable high-quality patient care.
