Canada adjusts its new energy storage project database
📌

What is the role of energy storage in Canada?

The report, ‘Energy Storage Canadian Market Outlook,’ was published this month and explores the current role of energy storage in Canada. ESC’s report begins by examining federal, provincial and corporate policy supporting energy storage. On a federal level, energy storage installations have been driven by decarbonisation objectives.

📌

How many MW of energy storage projects are there in Canada?

“At Energy Storage Canada we’re excited to see the IESO’s announcement of more than 700 MW of energy storage projects as the next step in Canada’s largest energy storage procurement to date,” said Justin Rangooni, Executive Director, Energy Storage Canada.

📌

How much energy storage capacity will Ontario have by ?

The IESO expects Ontario will have at least MW of energy storage capacity active in the market by . The seven projects announced as part of the initial 739 MW are in different places throughout the province and range in size from 5 to 300 MW.

📌

Which energy storage projects are advancing in Canada?

In addition to BESS projects, there are also many Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technology-based projects advancing in Canada such as compressed air, pumped hydro and other non-lithium ion battery chemistries. About Energy Storage Canada: Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today.
