Canadian renewable power producer Boralex Inc. has commissioned its 80-MW/320-MWh Sanjgon Battery Energy Storage facility in the Municipality of Lakeshore, Ontario, marking the company’s first operational energy storage system in North America.
Previously called the Tilbury Battery Storage Project, the scheme was renamed as part of a collaboration with Walpole Island First Nation.
Boralex will soon reach 380 MW of installed storage capacity in Canada with its Hagersville Battery Energy Storage Park due to come online in the coming weeks. In addition, the Oxford storage project is expected to commence construction shortly.
Sanjgon is made up of 89 Tesla Megapack 2XL units. The project was selected in a 2023 request for proposals by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).
“The Independent Electricity System Operator’s competitive procurements continue to deliver cost-effective projects that will help keep Ontario’s grid reliable and affordable. The Sanjgon Battery Energy Storage project is an example of how we are working with Indigenous communities, municipalities, private industry and government to build out the province’s electricity system and support Ontario’s economic growth,” said Lesley Gallinger, President and CEO of the Independent Electricity System Operator.
