Wärtsilä energy storage solution will minimise Canadian college’s Global Adjustment Charge
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade press release, 24 April 2020 at 2 pm EESTThe technology group Wärtsilä will supply a 2 MW / 5.4 MWh state-of-the-art energy storage system to Ontario, Canada based Alectra Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of Alectra Utilities. The system is to be installed at Georgian College in Ontario and is expected to notably lower the facility’s power costs by using energy storage to reduce electricity consumption when the electricity demand is peaking. This will decrease the College’s Global Adjustment Charge, which is a fee billed to all hydro customers in the province
