Ottawa BESS 2 is a proposed up to 75 Mega-Watt (“MW”) lithium-ion battery storage Project located at 2393 8th Line Road, Ottawa, ON, K0A 2P0, under development by Ottawa BESS 2 Limited Partnership.
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.
Trail Road Battery Energy Storage Systems is a 150 MW battery storage project with 600 MWh of energy storage, located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Evolugen has partnered with AOPFN to develop, own and operate both the Fitzroy and Trail Road BESS projects.
Although energy storage comes in different shapes and sizes, the lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) is the fastest emerging technology in North America and is planned to be deployed in the City of Ottawa with the Ottawa BESS 2 Project.
BESSes are already approved or under construction in Jarvis, Napanee and Spencerville. In Ottawa, a 150-megawatt battery-storage project for Trail Road has received municipal approval, but a 250-megawatt project by Evolugen for Fitzroy Harbour is facing pushback from some community members. Why Battery Energy Storage Systems?
Battery storage systems play a crucial role in Ontario's electricity system by offering flexibility and resilience. They help balance supply and demand, particularly during peak hours, by storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it when needed.
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

Solar batteries are the most common form of solar energy storage and help reduce grid dependency, allowing homeowners to establish their own energy security. The NFPA 855: Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems contains requirements for the installation of energy storage systems.
If outdoor installation is not possible, a suitable indoor location should be well ventilated and have suitable fire protection. It should also be noted that paragraph 6.5.7 states that the maximum capacity for outdoor solar battery installations can be double that of indoor systems – 80kWh and 40kWh, respectively.
Paragraph 6.5.1 states that storage batteries should be installed outdoors, where practicable. This can be in an outbuilding not intended for habitation or detached or separated from a main wall with a minimum fire performance of REI 120 to BS EN 13501.
With a budget of EUR 200 million (USD 217. 5m), the programme will enable households and farmers to install up to 10. 8 kW of PV capacity and 10. 8 kWh of battery storage, Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas announced.
