The IESO delivers key services across Ontario’s electricity sector, including: real-time power system management; planning for the province’s future energy needs; enabling conservation; and designing a more efficient electricity marketplace to support sector evolution.
To address Ontario’s current and future electrical supply needs, the IESO has issued a request for proposals (LT1 RFP) to provide reliability services and strengthen the grid in Ontario.
SB Energy and its partners are working to submit an LT1 RFP response for approval to build the proposed Sault Ste. Marie BESS facility. This process includes working closely with municipal staff and the IESO to obtain necessary approvals as well as soliciting comments and feedback from the public.
BESS facilities improve the way that we generate, deliver, and consume energy, providing many regional local benefits.
SB Energy is a leading utility scale solar, energy storage, and technology platform. SB Energy develops, constructs, and owns/operates some of the largest and most technically advanced renewable projects across North America.
