Together, we can cut electricity costs, fight climate change and deliver clean, reliable and affordable energy to Ontarians, all while creating jobs and boosting the local economy — and it all starts right here in Meaford.
TC Energy is proposing developing, building and operating a safe electricity storage facility at the 4th Canadian Division Training military base in Meaford.
Over the coming years, Ontario’s electricity demand is expected to increase. As we transition away from fossil fuel generation, we need to work now to make sure our electricity infrastructure can handle that demand – why not make it clean? Using water and gravity, this project is effectively a natural battery and a made-in-Meaford electricity solution for all of Ontario.
It’s an ideal way to help secure Ontario’s energy future. This critical, clean energy project will give priority to local skilled workers, material suppliers and vendors, and enable a vibrant local economy.
The safe, state-of-the-art technology will enable Ontario to transition away from fossil fuel power generation, optimize the power grid and generate enough flexible, clean energy to power one million homes while protecting Georgian Bay and the local environment.
