Ontario awarded a 20-year contract for the 150 MW Simcoe Battery Energy Storage System in Norfolk County, jointly owned by NRStor, Aecon, Sitka Power, and Indigenous partners. The project supports Ontario's renewable energy expansion and grid reliability, with commercial operations targeted for 2030.
