| Alberta's budding energy-storage industry is set to bloom. The renewables pause has cast a chill

So far in this province, Enfinite has limited its projects to a modest scale. If you're out driving on a rural road, you might whiz past one of the company's 20-MW storage facilities and not notice. The nondescript industrial facilities typically take up a small amount of space — just an acre or two — on an underused piece of rural land.Stationed behind the chain-link fences, however, is some cutting-edge technology.

Other battery-storage projects are attached to a generating station so they can be charged directly and then pass the power along to the grid later., for instance, stores power from nearby wind turbines in the Pincher Creek area. The 10-MW facility has been in operation since late 2020. "I think this has shaken up the confidence of the industry a little bit," Tremblay said. "Just because batteries aren't paused now doesn't mean the industry necessarily feels comfortable."of energy-storage proposals, there are also many projects that have been proposed and either cancelled or put on hold.

Companies behind at least four Alberta projects that included both renewable generation and energy storage have hit the brakes on their plans, Dye told CBC News. Under the "High Storage Scenario," the Pembina report expected nearly 1,000 MW of energy-storage capacity by 2030.
