People in Saugeen Shores can check out the details for a significant 400-megawatt battery energy storage project happening in Bruce County.
Neoen Ontario has kicked off its Class Environmental Assessment for the Neoen Battery, which was previously called the Tara Battery.
As mentioned on the company’s website, the proposed project, referred to as C1, will be situated 6.5 kilometres south of Port Elgin on Concession Road 2.
The facility has secured a 20-year contract with Ontario’s grid operator to store excess electricity and provide power when demand is high.
The project aims “to help meet growing electricity demand by storing and supplying up to 400 MW of power for a 4-hour duration. Neoen will charge and discharge power directly to and from the high-voltage grid, optimizing the use of existing resources,” stated the notice.
Residents interested in learning more can join a community open house on Thursday at Powerlink in Port Elgin. Doors will open at 5:30 p. m.
