Canada Invests in Battery Innovation Roadmap
�The Battery Innovation Roadmap is an important resource to support industry and other partners to identify and pursue the economic opportunities in the battery supply chain —
Over the same period, Canada's storage capacity is expected to grow from 124,102 kW to 296,318 kW. At this critical time in the energy transition, Canadian battery storage companies are playing an important role in improving the flexibility and reliability of the energy system and driving the widespread adoption of green energy.
Northland is currently building Oneida, Canada's largest battery storage facility. Located in Nanticoke, Ontario, the project uses 250,000 kilowatts of lithium-ion battery technology for a total energy storage capacity of 1 million kilowatt-hours.
There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.
Canada's current installed capacity of energy storage is approximately 1 GW. Per Energy Storage Canada's 2022 report, Energy Storage: A Key Net Zero Pathway in Canada, Canada is going to need at least 8 – 12 GW to ensure the country reaches its 2035 goals.
Some technologies, like pumped hydro, have a long history in Canada. Others, like battery energy storage systems (BESS) are new technologies to many and raise questions, especially as project approvals anticipate the integration of these assets into peoples' communities.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are tools that store electrical energy. Within Canada, all energy storage projects currently under construction are BESS. Proposed and under-construction projects have a power range between 1 MW and 411 MW, with an average storage capacity range of 0.5 hours to 6 hours.
