We are proposing the Brentwood Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the Township of Clearview in response to the Independent Electricity System Operator\u2019s (IESO) procurement process to increase electricity capacity in Ontario. Brentwood BESS will help achieve the Government of Ontario\u2019s objective to reduce the need for new generation capacity in the province and more effectively use existing generation facilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Brentwood Battery Energy Storage Project, proposed by Brentwood BESS Limited Partnership, is a 200 MW standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) planned for the Township of Clearview, Ontario, near Concession Road 2 and County Road 10. The project will use modular, factory-built containers with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries to provide up to four hours of energy storage. Covering approximately 5 to 10 acres and located near a Hydro One transmission line, the facility is expected to begin operations in May 2027 and operate for 20 to 30 years, supporting Ontario\u2019s electricity grid and optimizing existing generation capacity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    With demand for clean energy expected to outpace Ontario\u2019s current generation capacity over the next decade, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions that will help meet our energy needs while contributing to our province\u2019s climate change goals.<\/p>

    The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) is the operator of Ontario\u2019s electricity grid and is undertaking a procurement process to identify Battery Energy Storage solutions to meet the needs of Ontario\u2019s increasing electricity demand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Battery Energy Storage Systems charge a battery bank during hours of surplus energy generation in the grid, then discharge the battery bank during energy deficit hours to meet grid demand.<\/p>

    Storing energy when demand is low and releasing it when it is high optimizes the efficiency of our grid by creating a steady, affordable supply of energy when and where we need it most.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

    This solution will maximize the efficiency of our existing energy assets by increasing supply while reducing emissions.<\/p>

    BESS systems have numerous benefits to the overall stability of our electricity grid:<\/strong><\/p>

    • Manages peak loads<\/li>
    • Maximizes efficiency of existing energy assets<\/li>
    • Reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to lower emissions and cleaner air<\/li>
    • Balances generation of intermittent resources such as wind and solar<\/li>
    • In practical terms, can help avoid grid outages and blackouts<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

      We value local support for projects, and as such is requesting a municipal support resolution per IESO requirements which will allow the proposed BESS projects to proceed with remaining development.<\/p>

      We have begun engaging with landowners and securing land. Pending project approval from the IESO in late 2023, we will undertake the required environmental and engineering surveys and studies with the goal of completing final design and receiving notice to proceed to construction in late 2026.<\/p>

      The current target commercial operational date for the proposed BESS projects is 2027.<\/p>
