Canadian-owned global power producer Northland Power Inc. has announced that its Oneida Energy Storage Project (“Oneida”) is now fully operational.

“Today marks a major milestone for Northland and the Oneida project,” said Christine Healy, President & Chief Executive Officer of Northland. “Oneida represents a pivotal step in our strategy to develop and operate battery storage facilities. A first-of-its-kind in Canada, this facility supports grid stability and reliability in Ontario.”

Located in Haldimand County, Ontario, Oneida is a 250 MW / 1,000 MWh battery storage facility. The project features Tesla Megapack lithium ion batteries. It is Northland’s first operational energy storage project in Canada.
