BESS: Battery Energy Storage Systems - Coming to Ottawa? Battery Energy storage was all the buzz in October and November 2023 for those of us interested in renewable energy and the energy transition. BESS technology has dramatically improved over the past decade and is now cost effective at utility scale.
The announcement is part of the province’s ongoing procurement for 2500 MW of energy storage to support the decarbonization and electrification of Ontario’s grid, which was originally announced in October, 2022.
Energy storage is also a critical tool in providing flexibility and reliability to the system to ensure energy is available when ratepayers need it. The IESO expects Ontario will have at least 1217 MW of energy storage capacity active in the market by 2026.
The IESO expects Ontario will have at least 1217 MW of energy storage capacity active in the market by 2026. 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.
