Ontario’s Latest Electricity Scheme: Pumped Energy Storage

For ratepayers, none of this is working. Wind and solar are not just unreliable. Ratepayers pay unaffordable prices for their chaotic output. Adding the cost of storage puts ratepayers in double jeopardy.

Advocates for electricity storage schemes have a new sales pitch. They are needed to offset the unreliability of wind and solar power. In Ontario’s electricity business environment, where cost is no object, adding more unreliable wind and solar creates a need for more storage to support grid reliability.

  1. Good report, the whole pumped storage fiasco is a scam…not only will it waste even more of our tax dollars, it’s inefficient and doesn’t help in the grand scheme of things….sad:(

  2. Seems to me that demanding we build TWO power plants would be a bad thing for the environment, but may be I’m mission something. Twice the carbon footprint building them, twice the maintenance, twice the materials. I thought we were saving the planet, not pillaging it.
