Toronto: Energy Storage Ontario (ESO) announced September 28 that it is rebranding to become Energy Storage Canada – a move that the industry association says reflects its expanded advocacy and engagement at the federal level on behalf of members.
“Rebranding as Energy Storage Canada reflects the growing interest and momentum in the energy storage industry across the country,” says Patricia Phillips, Executive Director. “We need to capitalize on the opportunities in order to realize the economic and environmental value of energy storage on a broader scale for utilities, businesses and residential customers."
As Energy Storage Canada, the association will continue to focus on expanding the energy storage infrastructure in Ontario, a leading jurisdiction for energy storage in North America. The association will also “leverage the strength of its membership of technology providers, project developers, power generators, local electricity distribution companies, and NGOs to advocate for regulatory changes to open other storage markets in Canada.”
The new website address is www.energystoragecanada.org.
