Ottawa BESS 2 is a proposed up to 75 Mega-Watt (“MW”) lithium-ion battery storage Project located at 2393 8th Line Road, Ottawa, ON, K0A 2P0, under development by Ottawa BESS 2 Limited Partnership.
In 2025, the City of Ottawa established official plan and zoning provisions for battery energy storage uses in accordance with new Official Plan policy. BESS is an emerging technology using batteries and associated equipment to store excess energy from the electrical grid, which can then discharge energy in periods of high demand.
For our part, Hydro Ottawa views battery storage as more than just a technological advancement; it's a cornerstone to a more sustainable energy future. Our recent collaboration with The Ottawa Hospital includes the construction of a central utility plant which can also support a larger district energy system in the west downtown core.

Energy in North Korea describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in North Korea. North Korea is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009. The country's primary sources of power are hydro and coal after Kim Jong Il. According to statistics compiled by the South Korean agency, Statistics Korea, based on (IEA) data, per capita electricity consumption fell from its peak in 1990 of 1247 kilowatt hours to a low of 712. North Korea imports from a that originates in,. The crude oil is at the in, North Korea. North Korea has a smaller oil refinery, the, on its Russian border.

[PDF Version]In the next installments, we will examine some of North Korea's recent power station projects, including the Orangchon Power Station, which was recently completed after 40 years of work, and North Korea's latest policy of small-scale hydro stations to serve local communities.
This installment of our series on North Korea's energy infrastructure will examine one of North Korea's largest hydroelectric power installations: Huichon Power Stations No. 1 through 12. Construction of the system first started during the Kim Jong Il era and ended in the Kim Jong Un era.
North Korea is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009. The country's primary sources of power are hydro and coal after Kim Jong Il implemented plans that saw the construction of large hydroelectric power stations across the country.
Today, the construction of smaller-scale hydropower stations is the main focus of North Korea's electric generation sector, and numerous projects are taking place across the country. Based on state media reporting, the power being generated is largely used in the region around each power station, helping to even out national power differences.
The No. 2 station feeds from the water that flows through the dam and the larger station, and this arrangement, according to North Korean media, means it “can operate a generator even in the dry season by using the water from the army-people power station and mountain streams.”
But the two diverge on assessments of the country's thermal power production capacity, which consists mostly of coal-fired power plants. Statistics Korea estimates thermal power stations in North Korea supplied 11.2 TWh of electricity in 2020, while Nautilus estimates this at just 3.3 TWh.
By tracking the progress of flywheel energy storage project in recent years, this paper introduces the main subsystem of flywheel energy storage technology and the technical route of major companies and research institutions, and concludes that the engineering application of flywheel energy storage in power system mainly includes grid frequency modulation, renewable energy consumption and micro grid support.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are considered environmentally friendly short-term energy storage solutions due to their capacity for rapid and efficient energy storage and release, high power density, and long-term lifespan. These attributes make FESS suitable for integration into power systems in a wide range of applications.

The first flywheel unit of the Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, was connected by project owner Shenzen Energy Group recently.
A project that contains two combined thermal power units for 600 MW nominal power coupling flywheel energy storage array, a capacity of 22 MW/4.5 MWh, settled in China. This project is the flywheel energy storage array with the largest single energy storage and single power output worldwide.
The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station, the World's Largest Flywheel Energy Storage Project, represents a significant step forward in sustainable energy. Its role in grid frequency regulation and support for renewable energy will help stabilize power systems as China continues to increase its reliance on wind and solar energy.
From ESS News China has connected to the grid its first large-scale standalone flywheel energy storage project in Shanxi Province's city of Changzhi. The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station broke ground in July last year.
A flywheel energy storage system works by spinning a large, heavy wheel, called a flywheel at very high speeds. The energy is stored as rotational kinetic energy in the spinning wheel. When electricity is needed, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced, and the stored kinetic energy is converted back into electrical power using a generator.
With a total investment of approximately 1. 95 billion yuan, the station boasts a single-unit power capacity of 300 megawatts and an energy storage capacity of 1,500 megawatt-hours, achieving a system conversion efficiency of about 70 percent.
A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. The 5-hour duration project, called Hubei Yingchang, was built in two years with a total investment of CNY1.95 billion (US$270 million) and uses abandoned salt mines in the Yingcheng area of Hubei, China's sixth-most populous province.
The successful development of the 300MW compressed air expander stands as a significant milestone in domestic compressed air energy storage domain. Not only does it mark a turning point for advanced compressed air energy technology, but it also propels the nation's capabilities to unprecedented height.
Compared with the 100MW advanced CAES system, the forthcoming 300MW system will achieve a threefold amplification in scale, notable 20%-30% reduction in unit cost and a marked 3-5% enhancement in overall efficiency.
On August 1st, 2023, IET and Zhong-Chu-Guo-Neng Co. Ltd accomplished a significant feat, that is, the successful integration test of a 300MW compressed air expander.
