Ottawa council votes to support new battery
Ottawa city councillors voted to support a controversial battery energy storage system (BESS) facility in West Carleton despite the objections
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
City approval is being sought for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Dunrobin. A map posted on the website of Evolugen shows the location of the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at 2555 and 2625 Marchurst Rd. near Dubrobin. Photo by EVOLUGEN / HANDOUT
The primary authority for the Installation and Approval of Energy Storage Systems connected to the electrical grid in Ontario is the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). The ESA administers Part VIII of the Electricity Act and oversees the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC).
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) win big on community, costs, and climate, concludes the study commissioned by Evolugen, a Gatineau, Quebec-based unit of Brookfield Renewables that is seeking to build a 250-megawatt BESS facility in the rural community of South March, in Ottawa's west end.
This represented the largest energy storage procurement ever in Canada. A report was tabled at the NovemAgricultural and Rural Affairs Committee on four proposed BESS projects within Ottawa, one of which project received Council support, known as a Municipal Support Resolution (MSR).
