Is a 250-megawatt battery storage project in Ottawa down?This post has been updated with a comment from Evolugen’s Geoff Wright. A proposed 250-megawatt battery storage project in Ottawa’s rural west is down but not out, after the city’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) voted unanimously last week to reject the plan.
Could a battery energy storage site be in Ottawa's West End?With files from CTV News Ottawa’s Kimberley Fowler A proposed battery energy storage site in the city’s rural west end was at the center of discussion during an open house on Sunday, with concerned residents coming to heads with the company spearheading the project.
Does Ottawa have a battery energy storage plan?In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
Where are battery energy storage systems being built?BESSes are already approved or under construction in Jarvis, Napanee and Spencerville. In Ottawa, a 150-megawatt battery-storage project for Trail Road has received municipal approval, but a 250-megawatt project by Evolugen for Fitzroy Harbour is facing pushback from some community members. Why Battery Energy Storage Systems?.
