6 FAQs about Canadian gas energy storage projects

Which energy storage projects are advancing in Canada?

In addition to BESS projects, there are also many Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technology-based projects advancing in Canada such as compressed air, pumped hydro and other non-lithium ion battery chemistries. About Energy Storage Canada: Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today.

How many MW of energy storage projects are there in Canada?

“At Energy Storage Canada we're excited to see the IESO's announcement of more than 700 MW of energy storage projects as the next step in Canada's largest energy storage procurement to date,” said Justin Rangooni, Executive Director, Energy Storage Canada.

Why is gas storage important in Canada?

Canada's gas storage system is indispensable due to its vast capacity and length of supply. In total, the country has 948 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. This is equivalent to 286 million MWh of energy storage and more than 50 days of supply for a typical winter's day.

Who is energy storage Canada?

About Energy Storage Canada: Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today. We focus exclusively on energy storage and represent the full value chain of energy storage opportunities in our own markets and internationally.

How much energy does Canada have in natural gas storage?

As previously stated, Canada has 948 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity – this is equivalent to 285,750,000 MWh of energy; compared to Canada's 539 MWh2 of battery storage. In sum, the gas storage system currently has 530,000 times more capacity.

Where is natural gas stored in Canada?

Most of Canada's natural gas storage capacity is found underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs or in salt caverns. As such, most of the storage exists in Western Canada where much of the production comes from. Altogether, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan have more than 70% of the total storage capacity.
