EDP Renewables (EDPR) Canada has secured land from the city of St. Thomas in Ontario, Canada, for a 75-megawatt (MW) energy storage project it is developing in partnership with Caldwell First Nation, according to a Feb. 4 news release.
Located within Caldwell First Nation territory, the Edgeware energy storage project was also awarded a 20-year contract with the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator, EDPR said in the news release.
The land deal was sealed as energy storage and renewable development increase in Canada, which is diversifying its energy mix and targeting net-zero emissions.
“EDPR Canada is proud to be partnering with Caldwell First Nation and the City of St. Thomas on the development and success of the Edgeware project,” said Thomas LoTurco, executive vice president of Eastern U.S., Canada and government affairs at EDP Renewables North America. “The project will provide economic benefits locally while also supporting the reliability needs of the province of Ontario.”
Developers aim to begin commercial operation in 2027. Permitting is expected to be complete in 2025. EDPR Canada’s other Ontario operations include the 100-MW Nation Rise and 30-MW South Branch wind farms.
