Aphria is a main distributor of medical cannabis to Germany and has operations in over 10 countries outside of Canada.

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:CoGen Power Plant Food for thought...You are confusing your units of measurement which is understandable because it is somewhat confusing. KWh is a measurement of energy, while kW is a measurement of power. The average home consumes 800 kWh of electricity per month, not 800 kW.

That being said this plant is being used for both electricity and heating we need to look at the average total energy consumption including heating and cooling to get an apple to apples comparision.

The average CDN home uses about 30 MWh per year for electricity, heating and cooling combined. A 15 MW power plant running at full capacity can create 15 MWh of energy per hour. So if it were to theoretically run at full capacity 24/7 (it won't) it could generate 131,000 MHh per year which is enough to power and heat 4,400 average homes.

This makes sense considering they will have 1,350,000 sq ft of greenhouse and infrastructure which is equivalent to 540 2500 sq ft home and that a greenhouse has substantially more energy use per square ft than the average home (especially for heating, greenhouses have a R value of 3 while minimum building code for homes is R30 and an really energy efficient home is more like R50 or R60) and that the power plant won't be running at full capacity 24/7.
