Saint John Energy decided to add a battery storage site at Burchill partly due to the success the company has seen with their first Megapack project. Installed in 2020, the company was expecting to see large savings, and the Megapacks delivered just that, with Saint John Energy saving over $109,000 in the first year of operation.
Saint John Energy can also store electricity at times of low demand and use it during peaks in the summer and winter months, helping to save money and curb greenhouse gas emissions. Ahearn said the new batteries should be installed and connected to the grid by January — just in time for the coldest winter months.
Saint John Energy is embarking on a second battery energy storage project with Tesla Megapacks, this time at a new wind farm project near the city of Saint John. The Megapacks will be installed at the Burchill Wind Farm, located about 15km southwest of Saint John.
