Well, soon, in Ontario, batteries will be very much included - and they'll be transformative. Several battery energy storage system projects are currently underway in the province, including a 120 megawatt (MW) plant in York region and an 80 MW facility in the municipality of Lakeshore.
Different types of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) includes lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow, sodium-ion, zinc-air, nickel-cadmium and solid-state batteries. As the world shifts towards cleaner, renewable energy solutions, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming an integral part of the energy landscape.
