The Slemon Park Microgrid will consist of a 10-MW solar facility
with direct current-coupled energy storage, meaning that the
co-located solar and energy storage assets will share the same
interconnection. Implementation of behind-the-meter energy storage
solutions, as well as a small deployment of residential energy
storage systems, will benefit Slemon Park commercial businesses and
local residents by storing energy for later use.
By incorporating energy storage components to better balance
renewable energy generation, the microgrid will help manage peak
load demands within Slemon Park and is expected to offset
approximately 4500 tonnes CO2e/year over its useful life.
“The Slemon Park Microgrid project will further our goal of
achieving Net Zero energy by 2030 on Prince Edward Island. With the
addition of a new, clean renewable energy grid, we’ll be able to
better reduce our baseline greenhouse gas emissions and create a
more resilient future,” said Steven Myers, Minister of Environment,
Energy and Climate Action.
Ameresco and PEI Energy Corporation will work collaboratively
with the Slemon Park Corporation to utilize the park’s unique
infrastructure to successfully implement the microgrid. The
completed project will enhance local economic development and
strengthen renewable energy solutions in Prince Edward Island.
“We are so excited to partner with PEI Energy Corporation on
such an impactful project. Improving grid resiliency will enable
the province of Prince Edward Island to successfully implement
renewable energy projects that will help serve to protect the
Island’s environment and lead to a more sustainable and
economically robust future,” said Bob McCullough, President,
Ameresco Canada.
Construction began in December 2021 with a target energize date
scheduled for Fall 2022.
Federal funding for this project is provided by Natural
Resources Canada’s Smart Grid Program, part of the Government of
Canada’s Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program: Green
Infrastructure stream.
