Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has commissioned Convergent Energy and Power and Alectra Energy Solutions in a joint venture to build and operate three battery energy storage systems. The Convergent/Alectra joint venture will install a total of 80 MW of storage — enough to power more than 83,000 homes—across three sites, a 20MW facility in Guelph and two facilities in Vaughan, a 20MW and 40MW facility respectively. The systems will also increase the reliability and resiliency of Ontario’s electric grid while reducing reliance on fossil fuel generation.
Convergent and Alectra Energy Solutions responded to the IESO’s expedited long-term request for proposals, which aimed to add capacity services from new and expanded electricity resources starting in 2025. Construction of the systems is expected to begin in 2024.
