Raleigh Battery Energy Storage to Support Ontario's Grid Reliability

The Raleigh Battery Energy Storage Project directly responds to the Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO) call for additional capacity to meet Ontario’s growing electricity consumption. The Project will be co-located with Evolugen’s operating Raleigh Wind Farm on three acres of private land in Chatham-Kent and represents a cost-effective solution to add capacity, enhance flexible grid operations, and save greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Ontario by reducing the need for carbon-intensive power plants during times of peak demand.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

The proposed Project will consist of installing battery modules. The Project is in the feasibility stage and is expected to be operational by May 2025, subject to the IESO determining the project to be best for Ontario ratepayers.

• Minimal biodiversity and noise impact
• Minimal traffic when the facility is operational
• Increases electricity supply and reliability
• Reduces the chance of outages in the network
• Co-located with pre-existing Raleigh Wind Farm
