Vicinity Energy has announced agreements with Everllence and DCO Energy. This partnership secures the latest achievement in Vicinity’s electrification strategy in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, locking in the installation of a 35MW river-based industrial-scale heat pump complex for steam generation with the ability to reach over 70 million square feet of building space.
The installation of the heat pump (scheduled for 2028) and plant modifications will be completed by DCO. Demolition is underway, which includes removal of a natural gas boiler, clearing space for the heat pump installation at Vicinity’s Kendall Square facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The heat pump will be collocated at the existing Kendall plant site, leveraging existing electrical interconnect. This technology will enable Vicinity to harness the heat of the Charles River, turning it into a renewable energy resource to generate and deliver carbon-free thermal energy to its customers. The system will be the first to utilize the Charles River as a renewable resource to produce carbon-free steam. The company also plans to install thermal storage technologies to provide on-demand eSteam production from renewable electricity.
Previously, Vicinity installed a new 42MW electric boiler at its Kendall facility, which provides carbon-free thermal energy to its Boston partners through the established 29 miles of steam piping that runs underneath the city.
Building on the blueprint established in Boston and Cambridge, Vicinity is applying lessons learned to guide decarbonization plans in other cities. Progress is underway in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where installation of a 9MW electric boiler has begun, marking the city’s first step toward electrification.
