What is utilities Kingston doing to support Ontario's Energy Transition?

As an active participant in Ontario’s energy transition, Utilities Kingston is supporting a long-duration energy storage project that would store electricity to be used in meeting peak demand.

Could Kingston store electricity to meet peak demand?

NAPANEE — Utilities Kingston is supporting a project that could provide a way to store electricity to be used to meet peak demand. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Subscribe now to read the latest news in your community.

How does a new energy storage system work?

The project promises to store 500 megawatts of electricity for use during peak demand. Put simply, the system uses off-peak electricity to run a high-pressure compressor to create compressed air, which is then pumped into an underground, water-filled storage tank.

How much electricity will Kidston pumped storage facility generate?

The Kidston pumped storage facility will store and dispatch 2,000MWh of electricity each generation cycle. It will generate enough electricity to power 143,000 homes for at least six hours. The project is expected to generate A$343m ($250m) in net public benefit to the local and national economy and create 900 jobs.

Should Kingston's Public Utility be involved?

The project is being characterized as a regional asset with economic benefits for all of eastern Ontario and David Fell, the president and chief executive officer of Utilities Kingston, said it was a project that Kingston’s public utility should be involved in.

What is the Kidston pumped storage hydro project?

The Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project will repurpose old mine pits. Construction is underway on an innovative engineering project that will turn two retired mining pits in Queensland into a pumped hydro energy storage facility.
