RE:RE:New Press Release - TC Energy's Pumped Storage Project moving to final evaluationGreens should be jumping with joy at this project, since power storage is necessary to build an efficient electricity supply using intermittent renewable sources. It doesn't get much cleaner than moving freshwater into and out of a reservoir. Instead they will undoubtedly fight it tooth and nail. Maybe this time around they will be fighting a battle against the Chippewa Nation too.
>>>Proposed for development by TC Energy and its prospective partner Saugeen Ojibway Nation, Ontario Pumped Storage would be Ontario’s largest energy storage project, storing enough clean electricity to power one million homes for 11 hours.
Just the facts: Construct a 375-acre reservoir to store water on property that is not designated a World Biosphere Reserve. Provide 1,000 MW of flexible, clean energy to the grid. An anticipated round trip efficiency of approximately 75%
