After initially rejecting a 250MW standalone BESS proposal in Ontario, Canada, from Brookfield portfolio company Evolugen, Ottawa City Council has pledged its support for the project. The pledge came after months of uncertainty surrounding the development. . In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge. . Ottawa BESS 2 is a proposed up to 75 Mega-Watt (“MW”) lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) that will be located at 2393 8th Line Road, Ottawa, ON, K0A 2P0. The Project will be submitted to the Independent Electricity System Operator's (“IESO”) Request for Proposals under the Long-Term. . Brookfield Renewable Power Inc.
