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.
Last year, Ontario made its first move towards battery energy storage systems approving seven plants, including one to be built in Napanee. (Atura Power) Smith said battery plants aren't the only solution to Ontario's energy needs, with natural gas serving as an "insurance policy to keep the lights on" until more storage is built in the province.
The proposed Project is a lithium-ion battery energy storage facility sized to provide up to 50 MW over four hours, (200 Megawatt-hours). It occupies approximately 5 acres of land located on the northeast side of ON-17, just north of Galetta Sideroad. An overview map of the project is on the right with a more detailed map below.
Two electric vehicle battery plants are also in the works in Ontario -- Volkswagen in St. Thomas, Ont., and Stellantis LG in Windsor, Ont.

Officials pose with shovels in October 2023 to mark the construction of a new battery components plant. (Dan Taekema/CBC) The company said it's realigning its operations "to the new market reality," adding that a part of accomplishing this involves a "thorough review" of its battery materials business.
That plant was one of seven announced last year, including a battery energy storage facility planned for Napanee, when the province made its first move toward battery storage as a source of energy for its electricity grid as part of its larger plan to meet growing energy demands and reduce emissions.
