With 278 lithium-ion units now drawing and storing power from Ontario's grid, the Oneida Energy Storage Project has officially entered commercial operation, becoming the largest battery energy storage facility in operation in Canada, and among the largest globally.
The construction works are expected to begin in 2023, with full commercial operations slated to begin in 2025. Once operational, OES will be the largest clean energy storage project in Canada and will deliver critical capacity to Ontario's energy grid. The energy storage project will be located in Jarvis, Haldimand Country in Ontario.
The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget and is the largest battery energy storage facility in operation in Canada. “Today marks a major milestone for Northland and the Oneida project,” said Christine Healy, President & Chief Executive Officer of Northland.
The project is the largest of its kind in Canada and amongst the largest in the world. It will provide a gigawatt-hour of much needed capacity to the Ontario grid, while prioritizing local Indigenous partnerships and environmental benefits.
The energy storage project will be located in Jarvis, Haldimand Country in Ontario. The site is around 21.1km from Grand River at nearest point and 16.9km from Six Nations community boundary. The project will be located adjacent to the existing Jarvis Transformer Station and the Hydro One Transmission Corridor.
BESS is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada and is also the dominant storage technology in terms of capacity and number of sites. All but four projects proposed to be commissioned by 2030 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
