The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. In alignment with Canada's Greening Government Strategy (GGS) that mandates reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, 5 Canadian Division Support Base (CDSB) Gagetown will be replacing their light duty fleet of petroleum-based vehicles with zero emission electric vehicles (EV). The addition of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at multiple locations across the Base along with the required upgrades to electrical infrastructure is necessary to support this "greening of the fleet".
