Boralex has secured land options for two battery energy storage projects (BESS): Tilbury North and Tilbury South (the Projects) near existing Hydro One substations in the Municipality of Lakeshore, Ontario. The Tilbury North project is anticipated to have a capacity targeting 50-80MW and the Tilbury South project is anticipated to have a capacity targeting 60-100MW. Once constructed, the Projects will help meet the energy capacity need identified by the Independent Electrical System Operator (IESO) and will also benefit the overall Ontario electricity system. Commercial operation of these Projects is planned for spring 2025.

Project Details

Both Tilbury Projects will consist of containerized batteries, inverters, medium voltage transformers, gravel internal access roads, buried collector and communication cabling, a small transmission substation and potential garage and operations and maintenance building. The layout of the infrastructure within the Projects’ footprints has yet to be confirmed and will be determined through additional engineering studies, equipment procurement and an environmental assessment.

The Projects will provide reliable power capacity by drawing and storing energy from the grid during off-peak periods and releasing it back to the Ontario grid when energy demand is at its peak. The Projects are expected to provide significant benefits to Ontario’s ratepayers by reducing the need and cost associated with using gas-fired power plants during times of peak demand as well as helping to clean Ontario’s electricity system.
