Who owns energy supply in Ontario?

While the Province of Ontario is the regulator and owner of electricity generation supplies, municipalities have siting authority over new proposed renewable energy generation and storage projects, such as BESS. The approved amendments set policy direction for siting BESS within Ottawa’s rural and urban areas.

Where is a battery energy storage system near Dunrobin?

City approval is being sought for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Dunrobin. A map posted on the website of Evolugen shows the location of the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at 2555 and 2625 Marchurst Rd. near Dubrobin. Photo by EVOLUGEN / HANDOUT

Does Ottawa fire services provide water storage?

Water storage may be available on-site, and Ottawa Fire Services is Superior Tanker Shuttle certified to maintain continuous water delivery as needed. Will Ottawa Fire Services inspect and certify that BESS projects are safe before they are operational? OFS plays a role in ensuring the safety of BESS projects.
