Pumped Storage: A Path to Energy Security in Canada
Expanding pumped storage projects (PSPs), true “water batteries” that store energy during low demand and return it when needed. By investing in the integration of the two plant
“The Ontario Pumped Storage Project has the potential to store and deliver clean, affordable energy for decades, representing Canada's largest clean energy storage project. This project can only proceed following this work and the successful approval of Bruce's expansion plans, as this storage is a critical part our larger energy build out.
Canada's only other pumped storage facility is Ontario Power Generation's Sir Adam Beck Pump Generating Station. This 174 megawatt facility pumps water from the Niagara River into a 300 hectare reservoir for energy storage.
Early planning for clean, affordable electricity storage will help meet soaring demand MEAFORD — The Ontario government is advancing pre-development work for the proposed Ontario Pumped Storage Project, developed in partnership by TC Energy (TCE) and the Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
The first energy storage project in Canada, the Sir Adam Beck Pump Generating Station, came online in 1957. However, the next project did not come online until 2013. There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada:
