Grounded in Ontario: The Future of Energy Storage Systems

December 16, 2024

Technical Advisor Trevor Tremblay explains why following best practices and relying on licensed professionals will ensure a smooth and secure transition when integrating this exciting new technology.

Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are revolutionizing the way individuals and businesses manage energy, providing cost-saving opportunities, increased energy reliability, and a pathway toward sustainability. In this episode, ESA’s Karen Ras and Trevor Tremblay explore the technicalities and trends shaping ESS installations and what you need to know working with these in-demand systems.

At its core, an Energy Storage System stores energy for later use, enabling households and businesses to harness backup power during outages and reduce electricity costs through strategic charging and discharging. ESS is especially popular in areas prone to power outages, such as cottage country, and is often paired with solar systems to optimize energy independence.

The technology has become increasingly trendy, with homeowners installing systems not only for utility but also to keep up with neighbors. Even utility companies are using ESS instead of upgrading pole lines to improve reliability in certain areas.
