Westbridge Renewable Energy has announced the development of five battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Alberta, adding a total capacity of 539 MWh to its international portfolio. These initiatives are part of a strategy to strengthen Canada’s energy infrastructure while addressing global energy transition goals.

Strategic Projects in Alberta

These new projects in Alberta benefit from site control, completed environmental feasibility studies, and interconnection applications approved by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) under the Level 2 cluster process. These key steps ensure compliance with regulatory and environmental standards.

Addressing Global Energy Challenges

Expanding energy storage capacity is crucial in the current context of the energy transition. BESS systems play a pivotal role in stabilizing electricity grids and integrating renewable energy. In Alberta, these projects support not only national climate goals but also the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.

A Sustained Growth Dynamic

With a global portfolio of 9.5 GW across 22 projects in four countries, Westbridge continues to consolidate its position in the renewable energy sector. Efforts to geographically diversify its investments underscore the strategic importance of North American and European markets in developing innovative energy solutions.
