Inlet District Energy
Wesgroup Properties is transforming the former Coronation Park neighbourhood near Inlet Centre SkyTrain Station in Port Moody into a transit-oriented mixed-use master-planned community called Inlet District.
When complete, Inlet District will include a mix of homes, commercial and retail spaces, along with a variety of other amenities. Construction is planned to begin in fall 2025. For more information about the project or to register for updates, please click here
Proposed District Energy System at Inlet District
As part of the development of Inlet District, Wesgroup Utilities is considering building, owning and operating a low-carbon district energy system—Inlet District Energy. Subject to regulatory approval, Inlet District Energy would provide space heating, space cooling, and domestic hot water to all the residences, daycare, retail, and office facilities that will make up Inlet District. 
The proposed district energy system would include up to four interconnected energy centres located in the different phases of the Inlet District development. Each energy centre would house air-source heat pumps, boilers, and other related equipment to generate heating and cooling for the community. The system would eliminate the need for each building to have their own equipment to generate heating and cooling, reducing maintenance costs, providing flexibility in building design, and ensuring a low-carbon, reliable and professionally managed heating and cooling service is provided to the residents and businesses of Inlet District.
Public Engagement
From Monday, February 24 to Friday, March 14, 2025, we sought feedback from the community about the proposed district energy system at the future Inlet District development. This engagement period is now closed and feedback is currently being reviewed.
You can learn more about the project by reading our engagement discussion guide and contacting us at contact@wesgrouputilities.ca.
How Input Will Be Used
We will consider input provided through this engagement as we develop Inlet District Energy and prepare to submit an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC).
Regulatory Review and Construction Timelines
Public utilities—such as Inlet District Energy—and the rates they charge are regulated by the BCUC.
Wesgroup Utilities plans to file Inlet District Energy’s application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the BCUC by mid-2025.
Subject to approval from the BCUC, Inlet District Energy’s system would be built in phases to match the build out of the Inlet District master-planned community.
