ATCO Gas continued its ongoing centennial year celebrations today
by looking forward - construction started on a new
environmentally-friendly operations centre in Okotoks designed to
meet the current and future needs of the community. The company's
operations, construction and customer service will be consolidated
under one roof to provide quicker response to line installation
requests, construction services and emergency calls.
"This is an exciting day for both ATCO Gas and the Town of
Okotoks," said Bill Stephens, Senior Vice President & General
Manager, ATCO Gas. "There is no better way to commemorate 100 years
of delivering safe, reliable natural gas service to Okotoks than by
starting construction of a new facility that will serve customers
in the town and surrounding communities for generations to
come."
"The new ATCO Gas Service Centre is a huge benefit for the Town
of Okotoks," said Mayor Bill Robertson, Town of Okotoks. "ATCO Gas
has always been a great partner in our community and this facility
demonstrates its continued commitment to our people, our economy
and our safety. It also builds on our shared commitment and
partnership to protect the environment through energy
conservation."
The design of ATCO Gas's new service centre incorporates
state-of-the-art microgeneration technology to help minimize the
facility's environmental footprint by reducing energy consumption.
It makes use of combined heat and power technology fueled by
natural gas to generate 25kw/h of electricity as well as deliver
exhaust heat to the building's boiler heating system.
The 14,100 sq. ft. facility is scheduled to open in spring 2013.
Thirty employees will be relocated from Calgary to the new
facility, increasing the number of employees to 37 upon
opening.
