The Elora and Hedley projects will use e-STORAGE's SolBank product under 20-year LTSAs that include continuous monitoring, preventive maintenance, and performance guarantees.
The CEO of Aypa Power stated, "The Elora and Hedley projects represent critical investments in Ontario's energy system, providing the flexible capacity needed to meet rising demand and maintain a reliable grid. By working with trusted partners and applying the highest standards in performance and safety, we are building assets that deliver lasting value to Ontario's communities and economy."
