As an active participant in Ontario’s energy transition, Utilities Kingston is supporting a long-duration energy storage project that would store electricity to be used in meeting peak demand.
One of these bottlenecks is the variable nature of renewable energy. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), also known as Big Batteries, provide electricity grids with a wide range of benefits – recourse in times of imbalance in the supply or demand of electricity, managing frequency and stabilizing the grid, etc.

(Image from Crystal Energy Storage LP) The company planning to bring a battery storage facility to Elizabethtown-Kitley Township says safety is its top priority as it aims to begin construction in mid-2025.
They include 1,784 megawatts of battery storage projects, which can charge during off-peak hours and inject energy back into the grid when it’s needed, including a 390-megawatt battery storage system in eastern Ontario that the government says is expected to be the largest storage facility procured in Canadian history.
NAPANEE — Utilities Kingston is supporting a project that could provide a way to store electricity to be used to meet peak demand.
