Through this RFP, the IESO is offering contracts to 10 battery storage facilities for a total of 1,784 MW, Canada''s largest storage procurement to date. Today''s announcement builds on Ontario''s acquisition of 882 MW of energy storage, as announced in May 2023.
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.
So far, only smaller battery facilities are up and running in the province, but a facility capable of powering 250,000 is in development in Greater Napanee. The projects planned for Ottawa come in response to IESO's move to procure more than 2,500 megawatts of capacity by May 2028.
The first contract awards for Ontario for the province’s expedited LT-1 energy capacity procurement have been announced, in which 739MW of battery storage bids were successful.
While margins are thought to be adequate today, demand for power is projected to continue growing rapidly in Ontario in the second half of this decade. In addition to the 881MW of chosen winners, more are expected: the provincial government demanded the IESO make a total procurement of between 1500MW to 2500MW of energy storage in October 2022.
The two projects that were awarded are expected to be in commercial operation for mid-2027. Fitzroy Battery Energy Storage Systems is a 250 MW battery storage project with 1,000 MWh of energy storage, located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario.
The projects planned for Ottawa come in response to IESO's move to procure more than 2,500 megawatts of capacity by May 2028. Melissa Jort-Conway, a planner with the city, told councillors the procurement process is competitive and getting municipal support would give the companies a step up.
