Technical Workshop #1: Battery Hybrid Expansion
Tuesday, October 3, 2023, 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM

Variable generation and storage are naturally well-suited together. Hybrid projects featuring renewables and storage represent an exciting opportunity to deliver lower-cost and higher-performance non-emitting energy + capacity. Only a handful of hybrids are online in Canada today, yet nearly half of new projects in development in the United States are hybrids according to American Clean Power. Addressing technical, commercial and regulatory barriers facing hybrids is an important opportunity to unlock high value hybrid resources (both new-builds and existing renewable asset expansions) across Canada and potentially critical in attracting new industrial loads (i.e., corporate PPAs, “firm” offtake, repowering, etc.).
