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. Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today.

What is the largest battery storage facility in Canada?

This includes the 390 MW Skyview 2 Battery Energy Storage System in the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal, which will be the largest single storage facility procured in Canada.

Should energy storage be a key component of Canada's energy future?

Long-duration storage should be a key component of Canada’s energy future Additionally, while it is important we act and act quickly to deploy energy storage to meet the evolving needs of Canada’s energy system, we also need to act with an eye toward the long-term beyond 2035.

Will energy storage be a cornerstone of Canada's energy transition?

Afordable, dynamic and versatile, energy storage will be a cornerstone of Canada’s energy transition. This whitepaper, “Laying the Foundation: Six priorities for supporting the decarbonization of Canada’s electricity grid with energy storage, ” outlines CanREA’s perspective on what is required to advance energy storage in Canada.

What is canrea's plan of action for advancing energy storage in Canada?

CanREA’s innovative plan of action for advancing energy storage in Canada focuses on six priority areas, starting with education. Education is fundamental for facilitating the participation of energy storage in the energy transition.

Does Canada have pumped hydro storage?

And Canada has long history with LDES, notably Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) pumped hydro storage project in Niagara Falls, and about 90% of the installed energy storage capacity around the world to date is pumped hydro storage. There are several long duration technologies that are proven and operational now.
