The battery system may also help Saint John Energy provide power to customers during power outages due to storm events. The project will support a greener grid in New Brunswick and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting an equitable transition to an electrified economy.
This is not Saint John Energy’s first foray into Tesla battery storage. The 1.25-megawatt Millidgeville battery, which was the world’s first deployment of the Megapack, was delivered in late 2019 and installed by April 2020. It’s capable of powering 670 homes for two hours.
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 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.
The battery project is the largest battery in New Brunswick. It consists of a 5.8 megawatt / 11.6 megawatt-hour lithium-ion battery that can deliver 5.8 megawatts of energy to the Saint John Energy grid for a two-hour period on a full charge.
The electric SUV is still in its initial rollout phase. He says demand for electric vehicles is growing in Saint John and that he wants to be ready to meet customers’ future needs. “It’s a huge investment and a commitment to our local community,” he says.
