Canyon Creek Pumped Storage Project

ongoing

The Canyon Creek Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project, owned and developed by TC Energy, will play a critical role in Alberta’s renewable energy future. The Project will have a generation capacity of 75 MW, which will provide up to 37 hours of on-demand, flexible, clean energy and ancillary services to the Alberta electricity grid, meeting some of the province’s future power demand with renewable energy sources. This project will enable more intermittent renewable energy generation on the Alberta Interconnected Electrical System by generating energy during times of high demand, while also having the capability to store energy during times of low demand. Pumped hydro energy storage is the most economically, environmentally friendly and technologically proven way to store bulk electricity. In fact, it is the most widely used form of energy storage in more than 300 global sites.
