Technical FAQs 4

Who is energy storage Canada?

Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today. We focus exclusively on energy storage and speak for the entire industry because we represent the full value chain range of energy storage opportunities in our own markets and internationally.

When did energy storage start in Canada?

The first energy storage project in Canada, the Sir Adam Beck Pump Generating Station, came online in 1957. However, the next project did not come online until 2013. There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada:

What is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada?

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.

How many energy storage projects are there in Alberta?

While there are nearly 50 energy storage projects currently listed within the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO)’s projects list, the development of a 600MW portfolio of five solar-plus-storage projects by Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. is underway.
