ANCASTER

Ancaster Battery Energy Storage Project is a proposed 100 MW, four-hour duration battery storage facility in the City of Ancaster, Ontario. The Project is proposed by wpd Canada Corp. an Ontario-based renewable energy developer in response to the IESO’s Long-Term RFP (LT1 RFP) for new build storage facilities.   The project will include the construction of battery energy storage units, transformer stations (TS), transmission connection facilities, and ancillary components. The project will ultimately provide a maximum of 100 megawatts (MW) of power storage and up to four hours of electricity output available during periods of high electricity grid demand.  Once constructed, the project will help meet the energy capacity need identified by the (IESO) and will provide long-term benefits to Ontarians and the overall Ontario electricity system. Commercial operation of this project is planned for late 2027.
