Saint John Energy will soon have the largest battery capacity of any electric utility in Eastern Canada. The electric utility is currently installing three Tesla Megapack batteries at its Somerset Street substation.
“We can store upwards of 12 megawatt hours, which is about equivalent to 3,100 homes for about two hours,” Andrew Ahearn, engineering manager with Saint John Energy, said in a recent interview. The trio of batteries, which arrived on Sept. 8, are not the utility’s first foray into energy storage.
Saint John Energy can also store electricity at times of low demand and use it during peaks in the summer and winter months, helping to save money and curb greenhouse gas emissions. Ahearn said the new batteries should be installed and connected to the grid by January — just in time for the coldest winter months.
Saint John Energy decided to add a battery storage site at Burchill partly due to the success the company has seen with their first Megapack project.
