The City of Richmond has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, relative to 2007 levels. Identifying district energy as a key strategy to reach this goal, the City incorporated Lulu Island Energy Company in 2013 to implement and operate district energy utilities on the City’s behalf.

By July 2012, the construction of the first district energy system in the City of Richmond—the Alexandra District Energy Utility (ADEU) —was completed. Since then, Lulu Island Energy Company has been working hard to connect more of Richmond to district energy systems. In addition to the ADEU, Lulu Island Energy operates today district energy systems in Oval Village, the Oval Village DEU, and in City Centre, the City Centre DEU.
