4 FAQs about Canadian gas energy storage projects

Where is natural gas stored in Canada?

Most of Canada’s natural gas storage capacity is found underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs or in salt caverns. As such, most of the storage exists in Western Canada where much of the production comes from. Altogether, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan have more than 70% of the total storage capacity.

Who is energy storage Canada?

Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today. We focus exclusively on energy storage and speak for the entire industry because we represent the full value chain range of energy storage opportunities in our own markets and internationally.

How much energy does Canada have in natural gas storage?

As previously stated, Canada has 948 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity – this is equivalent to 285,750,000 MWh of energy; compared to Canada’s 539 MWh2 of battery storage. In sum, the gas storage system currently has 530,000 times more capacity.

When did energy storage start in Canada?

The first energy storage project in Canada, the Sir Adam Beck Pump Generating Station, came online in 1957. However, the next project did not come online until 2013. There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada:
