Wind and solar PV paired with energy storage cost-competitive against gas in Ontario and Alberta, according to study from Clean Energy Canada.

Utility-scale solar PV developer Westbridge Renewable Energy has kicked off development of its fifth solar-plus-storage project in Alberta, Canada.

Peak Power, an Ontario-based C&I-focused energy storage and software firm, has secured a US$200 million financing agreement with Madison Energy Investments (MEI).

Some proposed battery storage projects have been cancelled in the US and Canada since the start of this year, after facing opposition from local communities.

The local authority in an Ontario municipality has backed energy company Enbridge’s three battery storage projects in the Canadian province.

A handful of companies are trying to get in early and design and deploy ‘second life’ energy storage units using EV batteries ahead of an expected boom in supply in the second half of the 2020s.

Could we start seeing ‘third life’ or even ‘fourth life’ energy storage, with EV batteries deployed in multiple different systems in their lifetime?

China continues to lead rankings for involvement in the global battery supply chain, but the chasing pack of other countries is in flux.

Westbridge Renewable Energy has received approval for one of its four large-scale solar-plus-storage projects in Alberta, Canada.

Canada’s government will introduce tax incentives for clean energy technologies, including solar PV, battery storage, and hydrogen.
