Balancing our electricity supply
TC Energy is proposing to develop an energy storage facility that would provide 1,000 megawatts of flexible, reliable energy to Ontario’s electricity system using a process known as pumped storage.
Emission-free power generation, such as nuclear, wind and hydro often generate electricity when it’s not needed and is not available when consumers want it. Using water and gravity, this project is effectively a natural battery that will store electricity for when Ontario needs it the most.
It is a made-in-Ontario solution that will create jobs and economic stimulation in Ontario, while providing flexible, reliable, secure and cost-effective electricity for the whole province.
