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.

Energy storage developer Convergent Energy and Power has deployed a 4MW/8MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for Ford Motor’s engine plant in Ontario, Canada.

Justin Rangooni, executive director of Energy Storage Canada, explains why hitting the country’s 2050 net zero target will be impossible without at least 8GW of energy storage by 2035.

To stay in line with net zero emissions objectives, Canada will need to install between 8GW and 12GW of energy storage by 2035.
