“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.
The Toronto-Hecate Energy-IESO Energy Storage Procurement Phase 1 is a 13,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The rated storage capacity of the project is 53,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology.
A 2020 report commissioned by Energy Storage Canada, Unlocking Potential: An Economic Valuation of Energy Storage in Ontario, found that 1000 MW of energy storage in Ontario could provide as much as $2.7 billion in savings for Ontario electricity customers.
BESS is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada and is also the dominant storage technology in terms of capacity and number of sites. All but four projects proposed to be commissioned by 2030 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
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.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
