Ottawa New Energy Project Energy Storage Policy
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy.
FAQs about Ottawa New Energy Project Energy Storage Policy
Does Ottawa have a battery energy storage plan?
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
Who owns the energy supply in Ottawa?
While the Province is the regulator and owner of electricity generation supplies, municipalities have siting authority over new proposed renewable energy generation and storage projects, such as BESS. The amendments approved today would set policy direction for siting BESS within Ottawa's rural and urban areas.
Is a 250-megawatt battery storage project in Ottawa down?
This post has been updated with a comment from Evolugen's Geoff Wright. A proposed 250-megawatt battery storage project in Ottawa's rural west is down but not out, after the city's Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) voted unanimously last week to reject the plan.
Who approves energy storage systems in Ontario?
The primary authority for the Installation and Approval of Energy Storage Systems connected to the electrical grid in Ontario is the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). The ESA administers Part VIII of the Electricity Act and oversees the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC).
Should Bess be added to the city of Ottawa's official plan?
The report begins by recognising the complexity and uniqueness of BESS installations, recommending the addition of a new section to the City of Ottawa's development guidelines, known as the Official Plan, specifically aimed at new battery storage facilities.
Where is a battery energy storage system near Dunrobin?
City approval is being sought for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Dunrobin. A map posted on the website of Evolugen shows the location of the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at 2555 and 2625 Marchurst Rd. near Dubrobin. Photo by EVOLUGEN / HANDOUT

Athens photovoltaic energy storage policy
The Greek government has opened for applications a programme that will subsidise businesses to install energy storage systems, either as part of new solar projects or as an addition to existing plants.
FAQs about Athens photovoltaic energy storage policy
Will Greece's new solar-plus-storage scheme cover summer homes?
Rooftop and ground-mounted systems will be eligible for the subsidies. The program will also cover summer homes, but each applicant can claim funds for just one residential installation. Greece's new solar-plus-storage scheme has a €200 million budget, which stems from the country's post-pandemic recovery plan.
What is Greece's new solar subsidy program?
His geographic area of expertise includes Europe and the MENA region. Greece's Ministry of Environment and Energy has revealed a new €200 million ($215.3 million) subsidy program for solar projects and small storage systems in the residential and agricultural segments. The scheme is backed by the country's post-pandemic recovery plan.
Will Greece install 900 MW of storage by 2030?
According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030. Thus far, 900 MW has been allocated via the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste, and Water (RAAEY) tenders. Therefore, the remaining share would be delivered under the new plan but without any subsidy support.
How will Greece's energy savings scheme work?
The scheme will be backed with funding from Greece's Recovery and Resilience Facility. A guide to the programme is available on the Ministry's website. According to the government's estimates, beneficiaries of the scheme will lower their electricity bills by up to EUR 3,000 per year.
How much power will Greece have by 2030?
The government now aims for 2.65 GW of battery projects on the transmission grid and a further 900 MW on the distribution grid. According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030.
Why is Greece unable to connect new renewable power plants?
One of the main reasons for this is the grid's struggle to accommodate new renewable power capacity. Greece's distribution grid operator, Hedno, has stopped accepting new requests to connect plants to its network since last year, and this is not set to change any time soon.
