When did energy storage start in Canada?
The first energy storage project in Canada, the Sir Adam Beck Pump Generating Station, came online in . However, the next project did not come online until . There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada:
What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?
In Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), air is compressed and stored in underground structures like mines, aquifers, salt caverns or old oil reservoirs, or in aboveground pressure vessels. When electricity is needed, the air is released to power a turbine and generate electricity.
Why is compressed air important in Ontario?
During periods of high demand, this compressed air is used to create electricity for Ontario’s residences and businesses. This reduces needless energy waste, stabilizes energy costs, and provides a blueprint for a cleaner, greener future in Ontario — and the infrastructure to deliver on that promise.
What is bedrock's compressed air energy storage project?
Bedrock’s Compressed Air Energy Storage project (CAES) is an innovative plan to use proven technology to address energy waste, safeguard the environment, and stabilize energy costs, ushering in a more sustainable future for Ontario and for Canada. EFFICIENT. RESILIENT. SUSTAINABLE.
What is compressed air energy storage (PSH)?
As of June , PSH is the earliest and largest form of energy storage in Canada. 8 In Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), air is compressed and stored in underground structures like mines, aquifers, salt caverns or old oil reservoirs, or in aboveground pressure vessels.
What is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada?
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 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
The project will mark the first deployment of CAES in Alberta and leverages the unique geological advantages of Alberta’s salt formations to provide a scalable, dispatchable, and low-emission energy storage solution.

Cache Power Corp will lead a series of studies and pre-construction activities to
The Quinte Energy Storage Centre is an Advanced Compressed Air Energy (A-CAES) storage facility under development in Lennox and Addington County, that can help support the long-term supply options in the vicinity of the ageing Lennox Generating station once operational. The project will be 500 MW
The installed capacity of energy storage larger than 1 MW—and connected to the grid—in Canada may increase from 552 MW at the end of to 1,149 MW in , based solely on 12 projects currently under construction 1. There are an additional 27 projects with regulatory approval proposed to come
Hydrostor, a long-duration energy storage (LDES) developer based in Toronto, Canada, has this week secured $US55 million in funding from the Canadian government to support development of a 200-megawatt (MW) advanced compressed air energy storage project in New South Wales. The $US55 million (around
Strategically located next to the existing Marguerite Lake substation, the first phase comprises 320 MW capacity and up to 48 hours of electricity (15,360 MWh). Its primary purpose is to store surplus electricity from the grid by compressing air and storing it in underground salt caverns created
