The money will help with the installation of three 50-megawatt battery storage systems to be operated by Nova Scotia Power Inc. in Bridgewater, N.S., Spider Lake, N.S., and White Rock, N.S.
Six clean electrical energy projects in Nova Scotia are receiving more than $192 million in federal funding as the province pushes to get off coal by 2030.
Wilkinson said $117.6 million will fund three 50-megawatt battery storage systems to be operated by the utility in Bridgewater, N.S., at Spider Lake near Waverly, N.S., and in White Rock, N.S. The funding builds on the $138.2-million loan announced for the battery storage projects by the Canada Infrastructure Bank in February, he added.
“The private sector is increasingly prioritizing access to clean electricity to underpin economic opportunities and economic competitiveness and to seize future growth opportunities,” Wilkinson told reporters. Mark Sidebottom, chief clean energy officer for Nova Scotia Power, said the federal support is welcome, as the province has also set a goal of getting 80 per cent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
